The Russian Defense Ministry said that the Russian air force destroyed a large column of Daesh militants, vehicles and large caliber weapons heading to the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor, Russia Today reported Monday.
"The Russian Air Force destroyed another large column of ISIS fighters that was heading to the area of the city of Deir ez-Zor, where international terrorists are trying to regroup and equip their last base in Syria," the statement said.
The ministry further noted that "more than 200 militants" have been killed in the strikes, which also destroyed "heavy vehicles with ammunition."
The strike on the terrorist column destroyed around 20 SUVs armed with large-caliber weapons and mortars. Russian jets have also taken out a number of armored vehicles, including tanks, the ministry added.
"The defeat of Daesh in the Deir ez-Zor region will be a strategic defeat for the international terrorist group in the Syrian Arab Republic," the ministry added.
