The frigate of the Black Sea Fleet Admiral Essen carried out launches of cruise missiles Caliber on IG facilities in the Deir-ez-Zor area. According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian Navy struck a blow on the fortified fortress in Syria, which was held mainly by the IG terrorists (a terrorist group, banned in Russia) from Russia and the CIS.

As a result of a missile strike, the control posts and the communications center of the IG fighters in Syria, as well as the armored vehicles repair plant, were destroyed.

The Ministry of Defense, in its official YouTube account, posted a video of the launch of the Caliber rockets against militants from the Mediterranean.
