Syria: Russia Continues Withdrawing Air Force
---------------------------------------------

Russia is continuing to withdraw its air force from Syria, following
Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement Monday that Russia would
be ending the five-month bombing campaign. A Reuters analysis estimates
that Russia has already withdrawn just under half the jets it had
stationed at a base in eastern Syria. The U.S.-led coalition, meanwhile,
has continued to launch airstrikes against ISIL inside Syria.
