Russian warships in the Mediterranean Sea have fired four cruise missiles at so-called Islamic State positions in Syria.
The Russian Defence Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that the Admiral Essen frigate and the Krasnodar submarine launched the missiles at IS targets in the ancient city of Palmyra.
It said the missiles successfully hit IS heavy weapons and fighters whom the group had deployed and moved to Palmyra from its stronghold of Raqqa, the de facto capital of IS and its self-proclaimed caliphate.
