      The Russian Air Force hit the oil storage facilities and oil transfer centres of the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Raqqa as part of their operations from Wednesday into Thursday.

      The city and surrounding area is a strong-point of the militant group and is therefore a key target for coalition airstrikes.

      The action come as Russian President Vladimir Putin is meeting French President Francois Hollande in Moscow to discuss greater co-ordination of forces fighting against the militant group.
