Russian naval flotilla returns to Syrian port, cargo unloaded amid transfer claims

Three Russian ships arrived at a Syrian port and unloaded unspecified cargo, contradicting earlier reports of a full Russian withdrawal from Syrian bases. The move signals Moscow's continued military presence in Syria despite announced transfers, raising questions about the status of its naval and air assets. The cargo's nature and the ships' origin remain unconfirmed, but the development suggests Russia is maintaining a foothold in the Eastern Mediterranean.
