The Russian Aerospace Forces have helped Syrian Army to destroy more than a thousand ISIL objects during past week leaving nearly 90 percent of Syrian territory free of terrorists.

A total of 92 percent of Syria’s territory has been liberated from the ISIL terrorist group, according to information published in a newspaper affiliated with the Russian Defense Ministry on Thursday.

The infographic in the Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) newspaper showed that 92 percent of the land is now free from militants.
