MOSCOW, November 27. /TASS/. The US-led coalition’s fighter jets violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area six times during the past day, Vadim Kulit, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria (a division of the Russian defense ministry), said on Monday.

"Aircraft of the so-called international anti-terrorist coalition led by the United States continues to create dangerous situation that may cause air accident or incidents and escalate the situation in Syria’s airspace," he said. "A pair of the coalition’s F-15, a pair of F-16 and a pair of Rafale fighter jets violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area, across which international air routes run, six times during the day."

He also said that one Syrian soldier was killed and one more was wounded as a result of mortar shelling by militants of illegal armed groups from the settlement of Fatira at the positions of Syrian government troops near the settlement on Kafer Nebel in the Idlib governorate.

"During the day, four shelling attacks on positions of government forces were reported in the Idlid de-escalation zone from positions of the Jabhat al-Nusra and the Turkestan Islamic Party terrorist groups (both outlawed in Russia): one in the Aleppo governorate, two in the Idlib governorate, and one in the Latakia governorate," he said.
