Russia’s air force struck 448 targets throughout Syria over the last three days, the defense ministry says Monday, as Moscow pushes on with its bombing campaign in the war-torn country.
The ministry says in a statement that Russian planes hit a repair workshop for armored vehicles near Kfar Nabuda in Hama province, which belongs to al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra Front.
Other targets said to belong to the Nusra Front are a command center in Zarbe, a training camp near Kweyris east of Aleppo and a “large munitions stockpile” near Maheen in Homs province.
The air force also says it bombed the Islamic State group’s stronghold in Raqa, where two more munition stockpiles were “completely destroyed.”
Among other targets are a position used by the Nusra Front for launching mortar attacks in Latakia and a stockpile of rockets in the mountains near Damascus kept by the Islamic State group, it says.
