The spokesman said Russian Aerospace Forces had completed 41 sorties against 40 ISIL infrastructure facilities in Syria’s governorates of Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Hama, and Deir al-Zor over the last 24 hours.
"Su-24M bombers carried out precision strikes near the city of Aleppo against facilities used by militants to assemble explosion devices and install them on suicide bombers’ automobiles," he said.
ISIL planned to use the vehicles in attacks against Syrian villages and cities, as well as against Syrian army positions, he added.
In addition, "Su-25SM aircraft attacked a terrorist training center in a mountainous area in the province of Idlib," the Russian military spokesman added. "Air data recorders captured detonation of munitions stored at the facility. The facility was destroyed."
"Near the settlement of Hraytan, an Su-25M [Frogfoot] attack fighter carried out a strike against an ISIL terrorist arms depot and fuel storage unit. The facilities were completely destroyed using precision air strikes," Konashenkov went on to say.
All air units participating in the operation returned to the Hmeinmin base.
