The missiles were launched at targets in accordance with data received through intelligence channels.
“The strike was conducted on a fortified area located in the suburbs of al-Sholah. The town was controlled by the illegal armed group. Most of insurgents came from Russia and CIS countries.
The strike eliminated control and communication centres, storages with weapons and ammunition, concentration of insurgents as well as a plant designed to repair armored vehicles of terrorists.
Efficiency of the missile strike was confirmed by reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.
“The missile strike promoted offensive of the Syrian Arab Army as well as disrupted the plan of the ISIS aimed to regroup forces and strengthen position of terrorists near Deir ez-Zor.
Currently the #SAA units are conducting operation to eliminate a fortified zone and large well-armed ISIS group in Deir ez-Zor area.
Eliminating of the ISIS in Deir ez-Zor area and unblocking of the city will be the strategic defeat of the international terrorist group in the Syrian Arab Republic.
