Russia says it has launched rocket strikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria from warships in the Caspian Sea - about 1,500km (930 miles) away.

Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said four warships fired 26 sea-based cruise missiles on 11 targets, destroying them and causing no civilian casualties.

Meanwhile, Syrian ground troops have launched an offensive under Russian air cover, Syrian officials say.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported "the most intense fighting in months" in Hama and Idlib provinces. The clashes followed a wave of Russian air strikes in the same areas, it said.

It appears to be the first co-ordinated offensive since the air campaign by Russia - a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad - began on 30 September.

Russia says it is targeting "all terrorists", but at least some of its air strikes have reportedly hit civilians and Western-backed rebels.

'Western backed rebels'. Aka terrorists under the definition of terrorism.

I love Russia, and I'm from the UK. They actually have the balls to do stuff against enemies, unlike some other countries...

Seems like they are just risking so many lives over a chance of hitting some of the terrorists.

Russian Roulette on a mass scale.

It's doing something, but I don't think it's a solution.

it isn't a invasion, Syria invited Putin to assist in removing ISIS all the US has done is arm them.
