Russia has launched rocket strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria from its warships in the Caspian Sea, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu says.
Mr Shoigu was quoted by Russian media as saying four warships launched 26 sea-based cruise missiles on 11 targets, destroying them.
President Putin praised the Russian military, saying the targets were about 1,500km (932 miles) away.
Russia denies claims that its week-long strikes have hit non-IS targets.
