MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia's Rostov-on-Don submarine that has taken part in attacks on terrorist targets in Syria has returned from the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea, a spokesman for the Russian Black Sea Fleet said Monday.
"Diesel submarine Rostov-on-Don of the Black Sea Fleet <…> has successfully passed the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus straits and arrived in the Black Sea," Vyacheslav Trukhachev said.
The attack destroyed two command posts belonging to Islamic State, a group outlawed in Russia and many other countries, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
Russia has been conducting aerial counter-terrorist operations against Daesh and other terrorist groups in Syria since September 30 at the request of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
