| [Iran Press TV] Russian Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bombers have fired a barrage of cruise missiles at the positions of ISIS Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib and the eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, inflicting heavy losses on the terrorists. Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Tuesday that the warplanes took off from Engels airbase, located 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) east of Russia’s major port city of Saratov, flew over territory of Iran and Iraq and launched Kh-101 air-to-surface cruise missiles at designated targets. "The sudden strikes destroyed a number of terrorist command posts, fortifications, military hardware as well as ammunition depots," Konashenkov said in a statement. The senior Russian military official went on to say that all destroyed targets were far away from residential areas, the positions of the US-backed gunnies from the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces, and US troops. |
