Combat report: Russian Air Force hits 118 terrorist targets in Syria in past 24 hours

The number of sorties has risen due to the increased amount of confirmed intelligence information on Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) facilities, Major-General Igor Konashenkov told journalists on Wednesday.

The strikes hit targets in Syria's Idlib, Homs, Hama, Aleppo, Latakia and Damascus provinces.

Russian jets have bombed hidden, as well as non-operational, terrorist military facilities.

A control center of the Jaysh al-Islam terror group has also been destroyed, Konashenkov added. The group’s communication in the region is currently disrupted, complicating its interaction with other militants in the area.
