According to a media report, up to 200 insurgents were killed in a Russian air strike in Syria. The Russian news agency Interfax reported yesterday, citing the Ministry of Defense in Moscow, that their base is located northeast of Palmyra. Ammunition, cars and facilities for the production of explosives were also destroyed in the attack.
Russia is an ally of the Syrian government. It is true that the Russian Air Force suspended major bombings about a year ago following an agreement. However, there are always air strikes.
