Russia starts air strikes in Syria

Quote:

Russian defence spokesman says equipment belonging to terrorists hit, though there are fears that all anti-Assad forces are being targeted, and not just Isis
[...]
Syrian rebels and opposition media outlets alleged that Russian aircraft carried out strikes strikes in the central provinces of Homs and Hama that allegedly killed at least 24 people.
[...]
If true, the attacks are an indication that Russia’s campaign in Syria will be more expansive and will target opposition fighters battling to topple the Assad regime, rather than focusing on Islamic State. A US official told Reuters that Russian airstrikes did not appear to be targeting areas held by Islamic State forces.
[...]
Putin said in New York that Russia would not carry out ground operations in Syria, and his chief of staff, Sergei Ivanov, emphasised this again on Wednesday, saying the request to the federation council referred exclusively to airstrikes. He did not give any figures of the number of planes likely to be involved or the number of Russian military specialists on the ground inside Syria to back up the operation.
