News18 Increased activity has been observed at the Russia's air base in the Syrian port city of Latakia. An Ilyushin II-76 cargo plane and an Alligator helicopter were seen landing at the base.
A Russian cargo plane departed from Russia's air base in the Syrian port city of Latakia for Libya, one Syrian security official stationed outside the facility said, following rebels' overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad last weekend.
The official told Reuters that additional Russian departures from the Hmeimim air base in Syria's coastal Latakia province were expected in the coming days.
Russia, a longstanding ally of Assad, granted the ousted Syrian leader asylum last weekend after helping him to flee his country as the rebels approached Damascus.
Moscow has said it hopes to maintain its two bases in Syria - the Hmeimim air base at Latakia and a naval base in Tartous - in order to keep up efforts against what it called international terrorism.
