Russian cruise missiles kill over 600 ISIS terrorists

According to the statement, which was issued late on Sunday, the decision to halt flights in and out of the cities of Irbil and Sulaimaniyah was made to “protect travelers” as cruise missiles and bombers cross northern Iraq from the Caspian Sea to Syria.

“There are fears for the aircraft and passengers due to Russian missiles”, said Talar Faeq, director general of Arbil airport.

Russia has launched another salvo of missiles at Syrian targets from the Caspian Sea, the Russian Ministry of Defense has announced.

The American president also acknowledged the role of Russian Federation in propping Assad, saying the targeted air strikes by the Kremlin were mainly directed against Assad’s opponents than the Islamic State.

Moscow said yesterday its warplanes had hit 472 targets in Syria over the past two days, including tanker trucks and oil infrastructure in areas controlled by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group.

In September, an intelligence sharing center was set up in Baghdad by Russia, Iraq, Iran and Syria to coordinate efforts to combat IS.

“The majority of Russian airstrikes are still against moderate Syrian opposition forces, which is clearly concerning, and those strikes are in support of the Syrian regime”, said Col Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for US Central Command.

US officials said last month four missiles launched from Russian warships in the Caspian had crashed in Iran, though Moscow insisted they reached their targets in Syria.

The claims that Russian missiles killed 600 terrorists and destroyed the ISIS facilities named by Shoigu has not yet been independently confirmed by the United States or other allies now carrying out bombing raids in Syria.

The Russian military is pulling to stops on their attacks on the ISIS targets in Syria.

In a video posted online by the Russian Defense Ministry on Friday, the Russian words “За Парижа” – or “for Paris” in English – are written on what appears to be bombs on a Russian jet in Syria.

The resolution, which does not provide a legal basis for military action, urges those countries which can to “take all necessary measures, in compliance with global law… on the territory under the control of ISIL (Daesh)… in Syria and Iraq”.
