TEHRAN (FNA)- Russian warplanes in Syria bombed 29 field camps and other facilities of the ISIL terrorist group in the past 24 hours, the Russian defense Ministry said on Saturday. “Our aviation group over the past day has destroyed two militant command centers, 29 field camps, 23 fortified facilities and several troop positions with military hardware,” ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said, RT reported. He added that the Russian effort has “considerably degraded” the strength of the terrorist groups in Syria. “During the initial phase of the operation, our warplanes have destroyed the biggest and most important supply hubs of the ISIL,” Konashenkov said. This resulted in the “mobility and offensive capability” of the militants being reduced, he said. The Russian Air Force conducted 64 sorties and hit a total of 55 targets, he said. Source URL |
