Video geolocated by CNN shows Russian military equipment on the move in western Syria.

In a video shot on the outskirts of Homs, military trucks, armored personnel carriers and SUVs bearing Russian flags can be seen moving westbound on the M1 highway that leads to Russian bases near the Syrian coast.

It is unclear whether the equipment was heading to the bases, but CNN previously reported that Russia appears to be loading and preparing aircraft to leave its military installations in Syria.

The video also shows a man dressed in military uniform waving a shoe at Russian military vehicles as they are passing him by. Greeting or farewelling someone with a shoe is considered an ultimate insult in Arab culture.
