Now Russian Federation has also fired cruise missiles from warships in the Caspian Sea at targets across Syria.

Russian forces are scrawling “For Paris” and “For The People” across the bombs that they are dropping on ISIS forces in Syria.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Caspian fleet ships conducted 18 cruise missiles launches on “terrorist positions” in Syria on Friday, RIA news agency quoted him as saying.
Most of those strikes targeted strongholds of the Islamic State group in Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zor, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
According to Shoigu, Russian warplanes have flown 522 sorties and destroyed over 800 targets over the last four days.
But as of now, Warren said, the United States isn’t coordinating with Russian Federation. He expressed hope that the next phases would “produce the expected result”, but did not clarify what those phases would be. Russian Federation had initially drawn vital criticism from the worldwide community when it started its bombing marketing crusade in Syria in September, with many suggesting the strikes have been aimed toward supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and never helping the Syrian people. “They might be losing a few ground here and there but to terrorise, of course, they are using different methods”, he told the BBC.
Russian Federation has announced it is co-ordinating military efforts against IS in Syria with France, which has stepped up its own air strikes after the murder of 129 people in terror attacks on a concert hall, football stadium, bars and restaurants in Paris on Friday 13th November.
The Russian ambassador to Ankara was summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry to hear the protest.

The strikes come after the US-led coalition fighting IS said earlier this week it had destroyed 116 fuel trucks used by the militants in Albu Kamal, an IS-held town in Deir Ezzor.
