💨 Abstract

Russia's air base at Hmeimim in Syria is sheltering around 9,000 people fleeing sectarian violence, according to Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. The civilians, mostly women and children, are seeking refuge due to the violence that has pitted the new Islamist-led government’s security forces against fighters from Assad’s Alawite minority.
