Russian airstrikes kill seven Daesh commanders in Dayr al-Zawr
The Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov says Russian military aircraft have taken out seven Daesh terrorist field commanders, including a terror coordinator, in Syria’s troubled eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr over the past two days.
“Seven field commanders of various ranks were killed, including Kazakh native Abu Islam al-Kazakhi, who coordinated the actions of Daesh assault units on the banks of the Euphrates River,” Konashenkov said on Tuesday.
“Over the past two days, the Russian Air Force has continued to strike Daesh group on the eastern bank of the Euphrates. The death of 304 militants have been confirmed, and more than 170 other extremists been wounded.
“The center for the assembly and training of Daesh foreign elements, including about 40 militants from the North Caucasus, as well as a mobile sniper group of terrorists, were destroyed in an airstrike,” he added.
Konashenkov further noted that three command posts, nine terrorist fortifications, eight battles tanks, three artillery systems, 17 pickup trucks equipped with large-caliber weapons and four ammunition depots were also destroyed in the aerial assaults.
Russian Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bombers fired a barrage of cruise missiles at the positions of Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib and the eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr on September 26, inflicting heavy losses on the terrorists.
On September 22, a Russian submarine launched a barrage of Kalibr cruise missiles at the positions of the foreign-sponsored and Takfiri terrorists of Jabhat Fatah al-Sham – previously known as the Nusra Front – in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib and destroyed them only a few days after the extremists attacked a unit of Russian Military Police in the crisis-hit Arab country.
Jabhat Fatah al-Sham terrorists had earlier attacked Russian troops stationed in the neighboring Hama province.
Since 2015, Russia has been conducting aerial attacks against terrorist positions in Syria at a request from the Syrian government.
Backed by Russian air power, Syrian ground forces have managed to make numerous gains against terrorists on various fronts.
