The ministry said the air raid on May 28 that targeted an IS meeting held on the southern outskirts of Raqqa in Syria also killed about 30 mid-level militant leaders and about 300 other fighters.
According to reports, the Russian Defense Ministry said that they are now investigating the claims that Baghdadi has been killed in one of the airstrikes in Syria on May 28.
However, it needs to be remembered that previously also, Baghdadi was reported to have been killed but soon surfaced again.
Trump previously had said he supported restoring diplomatic relations but wished the US had negotiated a better deal.
Both are still under attack by various groups fighting under the cover of air strikes by the US-led coalition.
Forces opposed to IS have been closing in on Raqqa in recent weeks.

Does the Russian account stack up?
A spokesman for the US-led anti-IS coalition said he could not confirm the Russian claim. There has been no official comment from Syria's government, the BBC reported.
Hisham al-Hashimi, a Baghdad-based expert who advises several Middle East governments on Islamic State affairs, said he was skeptical about Russia's claim on Saturday.
While campaigning previous year in Miami, which is home to a large Cuban-American population, Trump pledged to reverse Obama's efforts to normalize relations with Cuba unless it met certain "demands", including granting Cubans religious and political freedom, and releasing all political prisoners.
Rami Abdulrahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, cast doubt on the report Baghdadi may have been killed.
A character shrouded in mystery, Baghdadi's real name may be Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim al-Badri, and he may have been born in 1971 in Samarra, an ancient Iraqi city in the so-called Sunni Triangle north of Baghdad.
Al-Baghdadi is a nom de guerre for a man identified as Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai.
