Mahmoud Allouz, an activist in Homs, said two people were
killed and 14 others injured in four air strikes on the villages of
Ghernata, Umm Sharshouh, Talbeesa and Ghantou. “Each air strike
released six rockets,” he said. Russian defence ministry on Sunday said
its jets “hit a terrorist training camp, including a suicide belt
factory,” without specifying the location of the strikes.”Over the past
24 hours SU-34, SU-24M and SU-25 jets made 20 sorties,” it said on its
website. “Ten infrastructure targets of ISIL bandit groups have been
struck,” it said, adding that the military were expanding their bombing
campaign.
“As a result of our air strikes on ISIL targets, we have managed to
disrupt their control system, the terrorist organisation’s supply lines,
and also caused significant damage to the infrastructure used to
prepare acts of terror,” the ministry said.
