Syria war: Russian jets 'destroy IS convoy near Deir al-Zour'
Dozens of so-called Islamic State (IS) militants are reported to have been killed in a Russian air strike near the eastern Syrian city of Deir al-Zour.
Russia's defence ministry said at least 200 jihadists had died after its air force targeted a convoy of about 20 4x4s, armoured vehicles and tanks.
It did not say when the strike took place, but a monitoring group reported that a convoy had been hit last Friday.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 70.
The activist-run Deir Ezzor 24 news network also said there had been a strike on a convoy outside Deir al-Zour on Friday that killed a number of militants.
