Syria has been mired in civil war since March 2011, with government forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups, including Nursa Front, outlawed in many countries including Russia.
Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, was attacked by militants in 2012. Since then, Syrian government forces have been fighting for the city.
