World

Six Russian Tu-22M3 long-range bombers have launched airstrikes on Daesh targets in the Syrian city of Deir Ezzor, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that the Tu-22M3 long-range bombers took off from an airfield in Russia and flew over the territory of Iraq and Iran.

 “On January 23, 2017, six long-range Tu-22M3 bombers that took off from a Russian airfield and flew over Iraq and Iran carried out airstrikes on Daesh’s command posts, arms and ammunition depots near Deir Ezzor populated area, the ministry said, adding that all targets have been destroyed, according to Itar Tass.

“Su-30SM and Su-35S provided air cover to the Russian bombers from the Hmeymim airbase.”

After successfully completing their combat mission in Syria, the Russian jets returned to Russia.

On Saturday, Russian strategic bombers also targeted Daesh positions in Deir Ezzor.

“The targets for strikes were camps of the bandit units, ammunition depots, groups of armored vehicles, and of manpower,” the Russian Defense ministry said.
