Russian Air Force carried out 64 sorties in Syria from Saturday to Sunday, destroying a total of 63 IS targets, including the field headquarters of the terrorist group near the northwestern Syrian village of Slama, the Russian Defense Ministry said Sunday.
On Sept. 30, Russia started airstrikes against positions of the IS in Syria, a move that has been criticized by the U.S. to be mainly aiming at striking Syria's anti-government rebels. |
