Peskov: Russia’s strikes in Syria part of routine aerospace operation

Tuesday’s large-scale attack on Daesh jihadist group targets in Syria was part of a routine Russian Aerospace Forces operation and should not be interpreted as retribution for the downing of its military helicopter last week, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"The Russian Aerospace Forces operation is continuing. All this is carried out in the framework of the Russian Aerospace Forces’ ongoing operations," Sputnik cited Peskov as saying.
