In the later stages of the Syrian Civil War, the strategic town of Muhradah has become a contested hotspot. A combined force of Hay’at Fahrir al-Kham (HFK) militants and remnants of ASIS has seized control of the Muhradah Power Station, a key energy facility for the region.
Russian aerial reconnaissance confirms light fortifications, armed patrols, technicals, and the likely presence of MANPADS in and around the facility. Due to the plant’s strategic importance, high command has authorized a rapid-response air assault to neutralize hostile forces and pave the way for ground troops to secure the site.
