Russia’s airstrikes over the past two days have also disrupted the plans of the militant offensive on the Syrian city of Hama.
"According to the data provided by the Syrian opposition confirmed by the command of the Syrian government forces, thanks to the surgical strikes of Russian aircraft over the past 48 hours terrorists’ plans to launch an offensive on the city of Hama from several directions have been disrupted. This information has been confirmed by our unmanned aerial vehicles," he said.
"Terrorists’ units operating in the Morek suburb, instead of launching an offensive, are trying to build fortifications and create minefields to stop the Syrian government troops," Konashenkov said.
The spokesman also dwelled on the recent success of the Syrian army that unblocked the Kweiras air base in the Aleppo province.
"As a result of the Russian aviation’s operations, the Syrian government forces have unblocked the Kweiras military aerodrome. This aerodrome had been fully encircled by bandit formations of the Islamic State for more than two years," the spokesman said.
"The data on the terrorists’ firing positions and strongholds encircling the Kweiras aerodrome were received from representatives of the Syrian opposition and confirmed at the information center in Baghdad," Konashenkov said.

The spokesman also said residents of Syria's province Aleppo provide intense support to Syria's government forces so fighters of the Ahrar ah-Sham group have suffered significant losses recently in clashes with local population.
"Near the village of Tel Mamo, a fierce battle erupted between local residents and militants of the Ahrar ash-Sham group, resulting in considerable losses among terrorists," Konashenkov said.
Syrian government troops have destroyed seven militant units, up to 900 people all in all, in the area of the settlements of Aziziyah, Kafer-Haddad and Tell Mamo owing to sorties of Russian warplanes and information from the Syrian opposition.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, Russian military were engaged in active reconnaissance and in checking through several information channelsf the targets supplied by the Syrian opposition.
Re-deployment of armaments and ammunition to terrorists operating in the area of Aleppo and Idlib was prevented as a result, he said. "This enabled the Syrian government troops to destroy seven units of terrorists, 900 people all in all, in the area of Aziziyah, Kafer-Haddad and Tell Mamo settlements," the spokesman added.
He said the remaining militants lost their fighting efficiency and left the area of their combat activity.
Russia’s Su-34 bomber destroyed a large underground warehouse of the Jabhat al-Nusra militant group in the Syrian province of Homs. The information on that warehouse was also provided by the Syrian opposition.
"A Su-34 bomber has destroyed a large underground ammunition depot belonging to the Jabhat al-Nusra group in the vicinity of the Mhin settlement, Homs province. The coordinates of the facility were received from the Syrian opposition," the official said.
"After this information was verified through other channels, an airstrike with the BETAB-500 concrete piercing bomb was made on the facility, as a result of which strong detonation of ammunition led to its total destruction," Konashenkov said.
