DUBAI: The new Syrian military administration announced on Thursday that it was launching a security operation in Tartous province, according to the Syrian state news agency.

The operation aims to maintain security in the region and target remnants of the Assad regime still operating in the area.

The announcement marks a significant move by the new administration as it consolidates its authority in the coastal province.

The operation had already succeeded in “neutralizing a certain number” of armed men loyal to toppled president Bashar Assad, state news agency SANA reported said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor has reported several arrests in connection with Wednesday’s clashes.

Further details about the scope or duration of the operation have not yet been disclosed.
