TEHRAN (FNA)- The Russian defense ministry said on Wednesday that the country's fighter jets carried out 40 airstrikes against the ISIL terrorist group in 41 sorties across five Syrian provinces during the past 24 hours.

The ministry said that the ISIL terrorists in Syria's Aleppo province have been cut off from their arms supply sources due to the Russian air attacks, RT reported.

Russian warplanes attacked dozens of ISIL strongholds in Aleppo, Hama, Idlib, Lattakia and Deir Ezzur provinces.

“Sukhoi Su-24M bombers delivered pinpoint strikes against terrorist targets near the city of Aleppo. They took out workshops used by the militant terrorist group to arm vehicles with explosives, which are used in suicide bomb attacks,” Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov stated.

He added that the vehicles were rigged with the explosives were to be used to stage terror attack against Syrian government forces.

The Sukhoi Su-34 and Su-24M bombers, along with a Su-25SM assault aircraft took off from the Khmeimim airbase to take out terrorist command and logistics centers, arms depots and workshops.

An attack by Su-25SM ground-support aircraft near the city of Huraytan with high-explosive bombs completely destroyed an ISIL arms depot along with their fuel supplies.
