MOSCOW, Oct. 10 (MNA) – Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff has confirmed that due to his country's bombings in Syria, the terrorist commandos of the ISIL are disbanding and hiding in populated areas.

Lieut. Gen. Igor Makushev said on Friday that ISIL troops suffered heavy toll under Russian plane attacks in the first ten days of operations and had to change tactics by mixing with and covering among the population.

“The aviation is increasing the intensity of the attacks and concentrating the fire on command positions, communication nodes, arms and fuel warehouses, as well as on the training bases of the terrorist commandos in Raqqa, Latakia, Hama, Idlib and Aleppo,” Makushed told journalists. He said that in the past 24 hours, in 67 flights the Russian planes destroyed 60 targets of the terrorists' military infrastructure in Syrian territory.
