In a show of power against the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group for planting a bomb on a Russian plane recently that killed all 224 passengers over Egypt, Russia bombed the IS yesterday with the heaviest strikes in Syria since the Syrian civil war began nearly five years ago, the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website reports today (November 21, 2015).
The United Nations, meanwhile, passed a motion yesterday calling for action against IS, a week after 130 people were killed in Paris, sparking international condemnation and fears of similar attacks elsewhere.
Russian and Syrian warplanes carried out more than 70 strikes in eastern Deir Ezor province yesterday, killing at least 30 people including 10 children, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The raids hit several cities and towns as well as three oil fields, and were the heaviest bombardment in the region since the Syrian civil war began in March 2011.
