It has been claimed by eyewitnesses that there was a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria, not far from the Turkish border, while three fighter planes were seen overhead

U.S. officials said this week that Russia - a key ally of Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad - has directed parts of its air campaign against U.S.-funded and other moderate opposition groups in a concerted effort to weaken them. 

However, Russia has claimed its forces hit 55 ISIS targets in Syria in the 24 hours to Saturday - although Putin's jets were also a key factor in helping Syrian troop to seize a village in the centre of the country which was not ISIS-controlled."
