group weapon stores around the jihadist stronghold of Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria, the Defense Ministry in Moscow says.

The ministry says in a statement that the Russian Tupolev bombers carried out raids to the southwest, east and northeast of the city, wiping out two command posts, six arms depots, IS vehicles and "a large number of fighters."
