Earlier in October, Syrian Ambassador to Russia Riad Haddad confirmed that strikes were being carried out against armed terrorist organizations and not political opposition factions or civilians. He added that Russia’s airstrikes had already destroyed 40 percent of Islamic State infrastructure in Syria.

"The recent Russian military attacks that go beyond Dae'sh [ISIL] and other UN-designated terrorist groups, as well as on the moderate opposition, are of deep concern, and must cease immediately. So too must the Russian violations of the sovereign airspace of neighbouring countries," the press service of the EU Foreign Affairs Council said.
The Foreign Affairs Council called on Moscow to contribute to a political solution for the Syrian civil war.
Russia’s Sukhoi Su-25, Su-24M and Su-34 attack aircraft with the support of Su-30 jets launched precision airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria on September 30, following a request from Syrian President Bashar Assad.
