Russia has taken out some 304 Daesh militants on the eastern bank of the Euphrates in Syria over the past two days, Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said. 

He added that more than 170 terrorists were injured, Russia Today reported.

“Three command posts, nine key localities, eight tanks, three artillery units, 17 SUVs with installed large-caliber weapons, and four ammunition depots have been destroyed,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement. 

At least 7 field commanders of various levels have been killed, including Abu Islam Al Kazaki, a native of Kazakhstan who coordinated the actions of Daesh assault units in the Euphrates valley.

An air strike by Russian forces destroyed the center for assembly and training of foreign mercenaries from Daesh, including about 40 militants from the North Caucasus, as well as a terrorist mobile sniper group.
