A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the decree to conscript hundreds of thousands of new troops was not related to the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Dmitry Peskov, who said Russia is targeting ISIS and other extremist groups, told Sputnik News: ‘This is a regular document which the president signs twice a year.’
It came as Moscow claimed to have attacked 12 ISIS targets including a command centre in Hama and ammunition depots in Idlib on the second day of the aerial campaign.
The area targeted is largely made up of rebel insurgents which, unlike Islamic State, are supported by United States allies such as the Arab states and Turkey.

Syrian security claims that bombs were dropped an Al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch, the so-called Army of Conquest which opposes ISIS.
Another rebel group, which is part of the Free Syrian Army, stated that twenty missiles struck their Idlib base.
