A frame grab taken from a footage released by Russia's Defence Ministry, November 17, 2015, shows a Russian Tupolev Tu-95MS long-range bomber dropping a bomb at an unknown location in Syria.
Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers have fired cruise missiles at Islamic State targets in Syria's Deir al-Zor and Idlib provinces, the RIA news agency quoted Russia's Defence Ministry as saying on Tuesday.
The strikes were carried out at a safe distance from U.S. special forces and U.S.-backed militias, the ministry was cited as saying.
