Russian Federation Says It Destroyed Islamic State headquarters in Syria

The pilots also wrote "For ours" and "For our people" on a few missiles before sending them to Syria, with targets including the Raqqa province where the terror group Islamic State has been frequenting recently.

"If we get a better understanding with Russian Federation about the process for bringing an end to the Syrian civil war, that obviously opens up more opportunities for coordination with respect to ISIL", Obama said on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Manila, according to The Associated Press, using another acronym for ISIS. The Islamic State group has positions in Aleppo province; Idlib has the presence of the Nusra militant group.

When it comes to the more than 8,000 airstrikes that the United States and its allies have launched against the militant group since August 2014, however, Lavrov said, "we see next to no concrete results but for the expansion of the Islamic State over this time".

Russian television showed a man scrawling "For our people!" and "For Paris!" in black pen on bombs minutes before a warplane was set to take off from the country's airbase in Syria.

Russian warplanes bombed ISIS's capital in Raqqa on Tuesday in what appears to be Russia's first significant attack on the group. "Those are the types of tactics needed only if you don't possess the technologies, the skills, and the capability to conduct the type of precision strikes that our coalition has done".

Syrian government forces backed by Russian aircraft launched a ground offensive on the mainly Turkmen villages in Bayir Bucak, north-west Latakia province, on Thursday, Turkey's Anadolu news agency reported.

"As Bashar al-Assad and Islamic State are equal priority enemies for them, they inflict damage to both of them by such hits". Two women were also among the dead.

The Pentagon said on Wednesday the US military had no plans to conduct coordinated operations with the Russians in striking IS. "With the arrival of the Charles de Gaulle warship to the Syrian shore we will organize joint military operations".

Mr Putin said Russian Federation still faced a lot of work.
