Russia's defense minister says the military has launched a barrage of new air and missile strikes on targets in Syria and for the first time has launched a new cruise missile from a submarine.
Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday the Kalibr cruise missile was launched from the Rostov-on-Don submarine in the Mediterranean, successfully hitting its designated target.
He said the Tu-22 bombers also took part in the latest raids, performing 60 combat sorties in the last three days.
