Alwaght- ISIS terrorists have incurred massive losses as Russian air forces hit 60 separate targets in northern Syria in a period of 24 hours.
In a statement on Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry has said two senior ISIS field commanders are among some 300 terrorists killed in the strikes.
“Among the targets are the communication hubs, command posts, fuel stores and terrorist training bases located in Raqqa, Latakia, Idlip, Aleppo and Hama,” said deputy chief of staff Lieutenant-General Igor Makushev, in a Moscow media briefing.
Makushev said that drone footage verified that a precise hit destroyed the headquarters of Liwa-al-Haqq, a terrorist outfit, which has been fighting the government of Bashar Assad since 2012. Russia said that a radio intercept confirmed the deaths of 200 terrorists, and two commanders, who Makushev said belonged to ISIS.
Another 100 terrorists were killed in an airstrike near Aleppo, in which Russian Sukhoi jets destroyed a base and armaments store housed in a former prison.
“The militants are sustaining significant losses from the airstrikes, and are having to adjust their tactics, spreading out over a wider area, concealing themselves more thoroughly, or hiding in urban settlements,” Makushev said.
“In these conditions, the Russian air forces are continuing and intensifying their airstrikes.”
Russian air forces have carried out airstrikes from a specially-built base outside the government-controlled stronghold of Latakia since September 30. The Russian Navy has been taking part in the battle against the terrorists as well, launching missiles at terrorist targets in Syria from its warships in the Caspian Sea waters. Russian military involvement follows a request placed by Syrian president Bashar Assad.
