Rebel observatories in Syria reported on September 27th, 2025, throughout the reporting window of 9:08 PM to 11:06 PM UTC, that Russian air and troop activity in the country remains unchanged, contrary to some unverified reports of a withdrawal. These makeshift installations, used to monitor Russian and Syrian Air Force warplanes, have reportedly saved numerous lives. According to a statement from @QalaatAlMudiq, disseminated via social media during this period, there has been no Russian withdrawal from Syria. The source indicated that Russian Air Force (RuAF) activity is consistent with previous levels and Russian troops maintain their presence in all previously established deployment areas. This reporting window follows a period where the Syrian Observatory had reported the closure of the Aleppo Highway and roads to Derhmer, coinciding with the arrival of a Turkish delegation at Keires Airport. Separately, concerns were raised by a senior aid official regarding widespread sexual abuse of boys at the al-Hol camp.
