 Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Monday that a Sukhoi fighter-bomber hit an IS stronghold in the Tadmor district, Homs province. He said direct hits destroyed fortified facilities, underground shelters, and air defense artillery positions armed with two ZSU-23 systems.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said Russia needs to help find a political solution to the conflict in Syria, not simply support the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
