    Russia strikes hundreds more 'terrorist targets' in Syria

    Russia's air force struck 448 targets throughout Syria over the last three days, the defense ministry said Monday, as Moscow pushed on with its bombing campaign in the war-torn country.

    The ministry said in a statement that Russian planes hit a repair workshop for armored vehicles near Kfar Nabuda in Hama province, which belonged to
    Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front.

    Other targets said to belong to Nusra Front were a command centre in Zarbe, a training camp near Kweyris east of Aleppo and a "large munitions stockpile" near Maheen in Homs province.
