The ministry said it conducted a series of coordinated security operations across multiple regions, including Damascus and its surrounding areas, as well as the provinces of Aleppo, Homs, Tartus, and Latakia. The simultaneous operations targeted what authorities described as a network planning targeted killings, though officials have not released details about the specific targets or the alleged perpetrators' identities.
