MOSCOW, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- A Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter was shot down by gunfire in Syrian territory controlled by terrorists previously known as al-Nusra Front, Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
"According to our information, the helicopter was shot down from the ground over the area under the control of the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham terrorist group and associated so-called moderate opposition units," said Sergei Rudskoi, head of the Russian Defense Ministry's Main Operational Directorate.
Jabhat Fateh al-Sham was previously known as the al-Nusra Front before breaking ties with al-Qaida and changing its name.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry said the helicopter was shot down in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib by gunfire from the ground while returning to the Hmeimim Air Base after delivering humanitarian aid to the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Rudskoi called the downing a terrorist act against Russian forces, which were deployed in Syria with the aim to help Syrian government fight terrorists.
Kremlin confirmed earlier in the day that all five people on board the downed Mi-8 were killed.
According to Rudskoi, Russian air forces actively supported government troops to repel enemy attacks and carried out selective strikes on militant positions.
"The Syrian army troops and the national militia, with the support of Russian aviation, repelled a militant attack at 4 a.m. today. More than 800 militants were killed, and 14 tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles, and more than 60 vehicles with mounted weapons destroyed," Rudskoi was quoted in an official statement.
The spokesman criticized the terrorist groups Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham for conducting over 100 attacks in Syria's northern province of Aleppo in the last two months, with constant shellings of residential areas.
Rudskoi also said Russia fully supports the UN initiative on "improving the modalities of the Russia-Syrian humanitarian operation in Aleppo."
As Moscow and Damascus on Thursday launched a large-scale humanitarian operation in Aleppo, Rudskoi confirmed seven corridors were opened for rescue and aid delivery, as well as a separate one for militants to surrender.
In a bid to quell the prolonged crisis, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad issued a decree on Thursday, offering amnesty to rebels who lay down their arms and surrender to authorities within a three-month deadline starting July 28.
Meanwhile, the Syrian army engaged in intense battles on Monday, as rebels unleashed a wide-scale offensive in Aleppo to break a siege imposed recently by the Syrian army.
3 Day Chemical Breakdown Diet What It Is And Is Not
The 3 Day Chemical Breakdown Diet has been called by many other names such as the 3 day heart diet [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/women-jaylon-smith-jersey/]Jaylon Smith Jersey[/url] , the Mayo Clinic Diet, and the Cleveland Clinic Diet. Don?t be fooled by any of these names because it is simply a very low calorie fad diet. There?s no magical chemical breakdown in the 3 day chemical breakdown diet.
That said [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/women-xavier-woods-jersey/]Xavier Woods Jersey[/url] , the 3 day chemical breakdown diet is useful for losing about 5 pounds in a very short amount of time. It is a modified fast that allows you to have about 750 calories a day. Of course, this isn?t sustainable over time [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/...ourdan-lewis-jersey/]Jourdan Lewis Jersey[/url] , but if you are looking to lose a small amount of weight in a very short period, it can be a godsend.
On most sites promoting the diet [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/...idobe-awuzie-jersey/]Chidobe Awuzie Jersey[/url] , you will find warnings that you must follow the stated rules because the foods work in concert to break down fat. There is absolutely no scientific evidence for this. Instead, as I mentioned before [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/...aco-charlton-jersey/]Taco Charlton Jersey[/url] , this diet works because it has very low calories. Any 750 calorie diet will do the same.
Still, the 3 day chemical breakdown diet provides a nutritious balance of foods for the 750 calories that you do get. If you are going to try to go on a modified fast [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/...nor-williams-jersey/]Connor Williams Jersey[/url] , you can do worse than the 3 day chemical breakdown diet.
Here?s the meal plan on the diet:

But, as a lifestyle solution [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/...-vander-esch-jersey/]Leighton Vander Esch Jersey[/url] , the program is simply too limited in calories to be sustainable. Women need a minimum of 1200 calories a day over the long haul just to function.
You?ll be hungry on the 3 day chemical diet. And, that is manageable for three days. But long term [url=http://www.teamnflcowboysshop.com/women-emmitt-smith-jersey/]Emmitt Smith Jersey[/url] , you should try a more balanced diet plan.
