It seems like Allawites in Latakia are staging an uprising with remnants of the former Assad regime launching attacks across the country (but mostly in Lakatia).
This has to be some coordinated attack, it is too sudden. If you asked me yesterday if the Syrian civil war would heat up again, I would have said no but things might change due to recent events.
Pro-Assad forces also have just taken control of the Latakia naval academy.
Edit: Commander of the Russian Forces in Syria, General Yuryevich stated this:
“If HTS convoys approach Khmeimim, we will turn them into ashes. We are monitoring the situation closely.”
Also, Anti-HTS forces have taken control of artillery batteries on top of Mount Yunus, the highest strategic peak on the Syrian coast.
