Moments after the Russian parliament unanimously approved Syria intervention, Russia commenced air strikes in Syria. This footage was posted on the Russian Defense Ministry’s FaceBook page and purports to show what the Ministry have called “surgical strikes” on Syria. In the post, Russia says the air strikes destroyed ISIL ammunition, fuel, command posts, and communication centers:
The Russians told the United States that they should not fly U.S. warplanes in Syria, but gave no geographical information about where they planned to strike. The senior official said U.S. missions are continuing as normal. This is going to be hot.
