The Syrian official added that the US-led coalition claims of liberating Raqqa city from ISIS are “mere lies aiming to divert international public opinion from the crimes they committed in Raqqa province”. “More than 90% of Raqqa city has been leveled due to the deliberate and barbaric bombardment of the city and the towns near it by the [US] alliance, which also destroyed all services and infrastructures and forced tens of thousands of locals to leave the city and become refugees,” the official told SANA.

The Syrian Arab Navy was established in 1950 following the procurement of a number of naval vessels from France and the initial training of Syrian military officers at the French naval academy, forming the core of competent naval officers from which to expand the nation’s navy. The main Syrian naval bases are located at the seaports of Latakia and Tartus, as well as at Baniyas and the Al-Mina al-Baida Marine Base. Latakia is Syria’s largest port and is also equipped with a naval repair dockyard. A squadron of “fast attack craft” (FAC) armed with anti-ship missiles, guns, and/or torpedoes are based at Latakia. Tartus is also an important base for the Syrian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea. It hosts a Soviet-era naval supply and maintenance base, first established under a 1971 agreement between the two countries. Prior to its modernization, the Russian naval facility consisted of three floating dry docks, dry and liquid storage, military barracks and other facilities. Since 2015, Russia
