Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday five influential field commanders who organized Nusra Front terrorist group’s attack on Russian military police officers on September 18, were killed in the Syrian province of Idlib.

“Five field commanders were eliminated” in an airstrike, ministry spokesman Maj.-Gen. Igor Konashenkov said, adding that along with the commanders, 32 more militants were destroyed, as well as a nearby ammunition and explosives depot and six SUVs with large-caliber weapons.

“Special measures to find and destroy all the militants involved in the attack on Russian servicemen in Syria are continuing,” he said.
