According to Russian media, Mikhailenko lost his life during an operation aimed at rescuing kidnapped Russian soldiers. The operation led to a confrontation with members of the terrorist group ISIS. The incident highlights the ongoing instability in Syria, where civil war has raged since 2011.
Russia has maintained a military presence in Syria, supporting the regime in Damascus. Key strategic locations, including the Hmeymim Air Base in Latakia and the Logistics Support Center in Tartus, are critical to Russia’s operations in the region. (ILKHA)
