Any targets threatening Russian forces in Syria must be immediately destroyed – Putin

Terrorists in Syria pose a direct threat to Russia, Putin has told a defense meeting in Moscow, adding that any targets threatening the country’s military there should be destroyed, the Russian RT reported.

The Russian military’s actions in Syria are being coordinated with Russian special services such as the FSB, who are disclosing terrorist cells, including Islamic State, Putin said.

 All forces threatening Russian servicemen in Syria should be destroyed, according to the Russian president.

“Any targets threatening our military group or land infrastructure must be immediately destroyed,” Putin said, speaking at a Defense Ministry event.
