Syrian forces pound rebel targets in the besieged northwest
![]() 1648 Monday, 27 May, 2019, 16:35 Syrian government forces pounded positions in the northwest of the country on Sunday as troops on the ground seized a town retaken by rebels days before. The bombardment helped Russian-backed Syrian soldiers capture the small town of Kafr Nabuda in the north of Hama province, the third time it has changed hands in the latest offensive, sources on both sides said. Syrian state news agency SANA said Kafr Nabuda town was taken from fighters led by the Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group. A spokesman for one of the rebel formations in the area, the Turkey-backed National Liberation Front, confirmed government forces had recaptured Kafr Nabuda after eight-hours of heavy bombardment, Reuters news agency said. |
