Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed 6 oil refineries controlled by terrorists in the Syrian provinces of Deir ez-Zor and Aleppo over the past two days . The convoy of oil tanker trucks heading to the Syrian-Turkish border were escorted by vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft weapons during an aerial reconnaissance in the Kfr Nable area of the Idlib province. “Russian aviation deployed an Su-34 aircraft to strike this target,” said Konashenkov.

121 sorties hitting 424 terrorist targets in Syria took place over the last two days, starting December 28. The offensive included the destruction of a Daesh base in the Homs province.
