Russia’s military says its airstrikes in eastern Syria this week killed more than 300 Islamic State (ISIS) militants.
Russia has been a major backer of Syria’s President Bashar Assad
whose government troops have been advancing in the eastern province of
Deir el-Zour against IS under the cover of Russian airstrikes.
Meanwhile, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces are also marching
against the Islamic State group, backed by the U.S.-led coalition.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement early on Tuesday that
its airstrikes just outside Deir el-Zour, on the eastern bank of the
Euphrates River, killed more than 304 IS fighters and left more than 200
wounded.
The ministry says the airstrikes also hit and destroyed an IS
training center, as well artillery positions, tanks and ammunition
depots belonging to the militants.
