The Russian military has launched cruise missiles against Islamic State positions in Syria from both the Mediterranean and Caspian seas, one of which killed over 600 terrorists in the Deir Ex-Zor Province, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said.
âOn November 20, the warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. All targets were hit successfully,â he reported to President Vladimir Putin.
Overall, there are 10 warships taking part in the operation, six of which are in the Mediterranean.
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been suffering huge losses as a result of the Russian offensive, Shoigu said, adding that data on the ground shows that the flow of terrorists arriving in Syria has decreased, while more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.
Over the past four days, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types, the minister stated.

Not a doubt that he would warn them.
“one of which killed over 600 terrorists in the Deir Ex-Zor Province”
Did they hit a mosque? It is Friday. Catching them at prayer would be some nice irony.
I have some claim it is because they do not have an independent press corps in Russia.
I am curious of why this enters their mind.
Unless they define ‘terrorist’ a little more broadly than we do. If so, are they wrong??

Only Obama is not paying attention...

I would say he’s deeply saddened since his buddies are taking a beating from Ivan.
I’ve been seeing some headlines around these parts having to do with him not wanting to be briefed on some terrorist issues.
Did not click in to see what it addressed.
He’s bad news on the issue of the Islamic threat on any level.
Jarrett is his handler, who knows who she reports to.

Bombing the Crap out of your enemies is a useful war tool as well.
Obama understands that the press runs this Nation.
They made him and they can destroy him.
I agree.
And Trump baffles that same press.
YUGE CLOUDS OF BLACK SMOKE
Not Islamic?
They cannot stop Trump because his support comes from those that understand the press and those that don’t understand anything.
It’s a hell of a conundrum.
“âmore and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.â ...To areas where Obama controls the âattacksâ.”
Those must be the “safe spaces” that those college bedwetters keep talking about.
