A terrorist command post and munitions production site were destroyed."As a result of the strikes a command post and a terrorist base near the village of Dar Taaza as well as a production site of mortar ammunition and an arms depot in Aleppo province were destroyed," the ministry said in a statement. The rockets, targeting Al-Nusra Front sites, flew over unpopulated areas, the Russian military added. "To ensure the safety of civilians the missile flight corridor was planned over an uninhabited area." On Monday, Russia launched tactical naval drills in Mediterranean and Caspian waters.
