The Assad militia claims it has captured the town of Qalaat al-Madiq in northwest Syria, some of its residents said on Thursday, as it pushes into the biggest opposition territory under a massive bombardment.
The area is nominally protected by a Russian-Turkish deal agreed last year to avert a major new battle.
Qalaat al-Madiq was the opposition area closest to the Russian Hmeimim airbase at Latakia, which Russians claim opposition fighters have previously targeted with rocket fire.
