Russia sent a cargo ship to resupply its air base in Syria, a signal the Kremlin intends to maintain the strategically important military foothold under the country’s new rulers, according to U.S. officials and satellite images reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The cargo ship Sparta left St. Petersburg in March and arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus in May, after being escorted for much of its journey by Russian navy ships, according to the satellite images and U.S. officials tracking the ships. It was the first such resupply mission since the fall of the Assad regime, a Russian ally, in late 2024.
