Combat aircraft from the Russian air group deployed in Syria carried out 15 sorties on Monday striking 10 Islamic State targets in various parts of the country, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov stressed that the results of the airstrike had been confirmed by solid reconnaissance data, including intercepted communications between militants.
All Russian Air Force airstrikes in Syria are directed at the disorganization of the command system, as well as against the Islamic State's technical support, Konashenkov said.
