Russia used six long-range bombers to target terrorist forces and oil sites in Syria, the Russian Defense Ministry reported, saying it is intensifying airstrikes near Palmyra.
According to Russia Today, the Tu-22M3 bombers flew all the way from Russian territory to deliver their deadly cargo.
The airstrikes focused on areas around as-Suhnah and Arak, the Russian military said.
Both towns are located east of Palmyra on a strategic road connecting the ancient city with Deir ez-Zor, a Daesh stronghold in the east of Syria.
This week, Russian airstrikes have hit over 50 targets in Syria since Tuesday, the ministry said.
