The Ministry announced that throughout the second day of the air campaign, Su-24M and Su-25 jets conducted eight flights from the Hmeimim base in Latakia province on the Mediterranean coast, targeting five Islamic State targets.

Based on intelligence gathered from a variety of sources, including “space and drone reconnaissance,” the ministry confirmed the “total destruction” of terrorist targets in Idlib Province by Su-24 M jets. One of the targets was an Islamic State command post. The other was a terrorist training camp.

One of the videos released by the Defense Ministry shows Russian planes striking the training camp. According to the statement, the fighter jets managed to surgically strike an ammunition warehouse that led to further explosions and the elimination of the camp, as well as some “military hardware” being kept at the site.
