Grabs taken from footage released by Russia’s Defence Ministry shows precise airstrikes (L-R before, during and after) carried out by the country’s air force on Wednesday against ISIS ground positions in a mountainous area in Syria.

Russia carried out new airstrikes on four Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) targets overnight, the Russian military said on Thursday marking its second day of aerial bombardment in Syria.

The airstrikes hit “terrorist facilities” in Idlib, Hama and Homs, the Defense Ministry said adding that it was strictly avoiding populated areas.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said labelled assertions that civilians had been killed in Russian air strikes in Syria as an “information attack.”

He also said Russia was coordinating its actions in Syria with U.S. intelligence and the Pentagon.

The Defense Ministry said that it is exchanging intelligence on Syria with Iranian and Iraqi armed forces, Reuters news agency reported.

Sukhoi-24M and Sukhoi-25 aircraft had flown eight sorties, hitting an ammunition depot near Idlib as well as a three-story ISIS command center near Hama.

It said a pinpoint strike had destroyed a facility located in the north of Homs aimed at rigging cars with explosives for suicide attacks.

“Air strikes from four Russian warplanes struck bases held by the Army of Conquest in Jisr al-Shughur and Jabal al-Zawiya in Idlib province,” a Syrian military source told AFP earlier on Thursday.

The source added that arms depots held by “armed groups” in neighboring Hama province were also targeted.

The Army of Conquest has seized all of Idlib province and has advanced west towards Latakia, the stronghold province of embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The alliance is also fiercely opposed to the Islamic State group, which Russia insists it is targeting.

On Twitter, a member of the Army of Conquest said “the alliance of Russian pigs launched its operations… by destroying a mosque in Jisr al-Shughur and flattening it.”

Russia launched its first air strikes in war-torn Syria on Wednesday, striking opposition-held areas in the central provinces of Homs and Hama.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the Russian military has only struck “terrorist groups,” but France and the United States immediately expressed doubts that Moscow was targeting ISIS.

The head of Syria’s main opposition group accused the Kremlin of aiming to support Assad’s regime and killing 36 civilians in the central province of Homs on Wednesday.
