Syria: Lavrov Stresses Need to Launch Political Process

The Syria-Russia alliance has further attacked Islamic State targets in Syria, as the army claims to have reclaimed several villages. High-ranking Syrian officials say that many terrorists have been killed in ground operations, as the Russian Air Force provides air cover. The spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry said that Russia has identified new targets and will continue its offensive. Syrian leaders say this is the prelude to more extensive ground operations and the liberation of towns in the area. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed the need to launch political processes. Hazem Abdullah reports from Damascus for teleSUR.
