Russian air force hit 63 targets in Syria in past 24 hours

Russia’s air force hit 63 targets in Syria in the past 24 hours, the defence ministry said Sunday, as Moscow intensifies a campaign it says is aimed against ISIS insurgent group.

“Su-34, Su-24M and Su-25SM planes carried out 64 sorties from the Hmeimim airbase against 63 targets in the provinces of Hama, Latakia, Idlib and Raqa,” the defence ministry said in a statement, adding the airstrikes had destroyed 53 positions used by the “terrorists”.
