Russia’s “Admiral Kuznetsov” Aircraft Carrier to Join Aleppo Battle against Terrorists within Hours

MOSCOW-The Russian naval group in the Mediterranean, headed by the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, is preparing an offensive against terrorists on the outskirts of the Syrian city of  Aleppo, according to reports citing a source in the Defense Ministry.

RT reported that jets from the Admiral Kuznetsov, the Peter the Great battle cruiser and other military ships in the battle group equipped with precision weapons will take part in the operation, Interfax and Gazeta.ru reported on Tuesday, citing the Defense Ministry source.

 The strikes will be launched “in the nearest hours” and will target the distant outskirts of Aleppo, the source said, adding that there are no civilian-populated areas nearby.

The reported operation is aimed at preventing more terrorists from entering the city, which has become a terrorist stronghold in Syria, Interfax quoted its source as saying.
