Tuesday's announcement marks a major development in
the efforts against the Sunni militant group. Russia has never used
facilities outside Syria for its operations in the Arab country before
this.
The ministry's statement says said Su-34 and Tu-22M3
bombers took off earlier in the day to target Islamic State and the
Nusra Front militants in Aleppo, as well as in Deir el-Zor and Idlib,
destroying five major ammunition depots, training camps and three
command posts.
Russia and Iran have been expanding their ties in the past months after most of the sanctions against Iran were lifted.
