Russia begins withdrawing its forces from Syria

Reporting that the base next to Qamishli Airport has been largely vacated, local sources stated that the withdrawal began at least 5 days ago.

Sources explained that Russia transported its equipment from the base via a cargo plane. Sources noted that there are still Russian military personnel in Qamishli, but they are gradually leaving the region.
