Russia Releases Footage Of Airstrikes 'Liquidating' Targets In Syria
The Russian Ministry of Defence has released new footage of its aircraft conducting airstrikes in Syria.
Russia's military says the attacks 'liquidated' a column of heavy munitions trucks near Aleppo, the country's largest city.
It comes as Britain accuses the Kremlin of making Syria's refugee crisis worse with its bombing campaign.
According to the Foreign Secretary, Russia is "the key driver of the military disaster that's happening on the ground" in Syria.
It's the sharpest criticism of Moscow by a British government minister since the Russian aerial campaign began.
Philip Hammond made the comments in a refugee camp in Jordan before moving on to Rome for a meeting of the coalition against Daesh.
The Ministry of Defence, meanwhile, has released information on its latest sorties in the fight against the group.
The MoD says Tornados used Brimstone missiles and Paveway laser-guided bombs to target Daesh rocket launchers, as well as a vehicle, ammunition truck and mortar position in Iraq this week.
It added that they flew reconnaissance and close air support for the Kurdish peshmerga in the north of the country, while Typhoons conducted successful attacks on three terrorist strongpoints.
