Russia says Syria targets hit based on ‘opposition’ coordinates

Russian jets bomb 24 targets in Syria after “opposition representatives” passed on coordinates, the defense ministry says, as Moscow claims for the first time it is working with groups fighting Bashar Assad during its air campaign.

“The coordinates of all of these targets were given to us by opposition representatives,” says senior military official Andrei Kartapolov, without specifying which groups Moscow is cooperating with.
