Russia's air force has destroyed a large column of ISIS fighters on their way to the Syrian city of Deir al-Zor, killing over 200 terrorists, Russian news agencies cited Russia's Defence Ministry as saying on Monday.
Terror group ISIS is concentrating its forces around Deir al-Zor after being pushed out of the south of Raqqa Province and the west of Homs Province by Syrian land forces and the Russian air force, the ministry said.
It said its planes had also destroyed the terror group's military equipment. It did not say when the strike took place.
