In the course of the last several weeks, the intensiveness of strikes on the positions of the ISIS and other terrorist groupings has been increased.

 

The Russian aviation continues undermining terrorists’ sources of income in Syria – that is one of the priorities.

 

For this purpose, just in the last three days, 6 objects of militants’ illegal oil production as well as 7 automobile columns with crude oil and oil products have been destroyed.

 

Since the beginning of the operation, the Russian aviation has eliminated over 1200 such tanker trucks.

 

The Syrian Armed Forces supported by the Russian aviation continue offensive operation along all the frontline, the most severe combat actions were in the Latakia, Aleppo, Hama, and Homs provinces as well as in the suburbs of Damascus.
