KABUL: (MEP) The Russian General Staff announced Wednesday that its country’s warplanes have destroyed over 29,000 terrorist targets in Syria over 7 months of the anti-terrorist air campaign in the war-torn country.
During Aerospace Forces’ military operation, “more than 9,500 sorties have been conducted and some 29,000 terrorist targets have been destroyed,” Sputnik quoted Lt. Gen. Sergey Rudskoy, chief of the General Staff’s Main Operational Directorate, as saying.
The Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed over 200 terrorist oil facilities since the start of the military operation Rudskoy, said.
“The sources of finance of ISIL or Daesh and al-Nusra Front have been cut off. More than 200 facilities for extracting, refining, and pumping fuel in locations controlled by terrorist groups in Syria have been destroyed, as well as more than 2,000 means of delivering oil products.”
