Russian Navy fires 7 cruise missiles at IS targets in Syria

The Russian Defense Ministry says Russian submarines fired at least seven cruise missiles at Islamic State targets near Deir al-Zor in Syria.

The missiles were fired from the eastern Mediterranean.

“The targets were command posts, communication centers, as well as militants’ weapons and ammunition stockpiles in areas of south-east Deir al-Zor under the control of Islamic State,” the Russian ministry said.
