Two command centers and camouflaged military equipment were destroyed and terrorists were killed in the airstrikes, according to the statement.
“To improve the efficiency of the disclosure of terrorist group targets and the accuracy of determining their origin, reconnaissance was intensified in the area, including space-based reconnaissance.
