Russian war planes conducted 36 combat sorties Saturday and attacked 49 militant targets in Syria including command points weapons workshops firing positions depots and fortified bunkers.
IS which suffered serious damage from Russian bombings is working to rebuild its infrastructure he said.
‘The militants’ new tactics is to spread their supply and command facilities but it does not work. All their new infrastructure objects are being identified and destroyed’ he said.
The civilian population in the areas under terrorist group’s control are aiding the Russian air strikes by providing intelligence about IS to the Syrian government.
