The defence ministry said its jets had destroyed an IS ammunition depot and control centres.
However, the areas reportedly attacked appeared to be held by groups opposed to IS and the Syrian government.
The US and its allies fear the strikes have been targeting non-IS opponents of Russia's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad - a claim denied by Moscow.
The latest attacks reportedly hit sites in the north-west held by the Army of Conquest rebel alliance, as well as areas in Homs and Hama provinces.
They reportedly hit areas near the strategic town of Jisr al-Shughour, as well as areas in Idlib province and Hama province further south, according to Lebanon's al-Mayadeen TV.
Rebel activists also reported strikes at Ghantu in Homs province, close to where some of Wednesday's strikes hit.
Russia said that it had hit 12 IS positions in the past 24 hours, although this cannot be independently verified.
