The Russian military on Friday said two of its ships have launched cruise missiles at targets in Syria from the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The Serpukhov and Zeleny Dol corvettes launched three long-range Kalibr cruise missiles on Friday at Syria's al-Qaida branch, formerly known as the Nusra Front, Russia's Defense Ministry said.
The ministry said the missiles destroyed a command facility and a militant camp near the militant-held town of Daret Azzeh, along with a mine-making facility and a weapons facility in the province of Aleppo.
Russian warships in the past have launched cruise missiles at targets in Syria from both the Caspian Sea and the Mediterranean.
