MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/. Aircraft belonging to the ‘international coalition’ made 12 unauthorized incursions into Syria’s airspace over the al-Tanf area in the past 24 hours, Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, said.

"The aircraft the so-called international counterterrorism coalition led by the United States continue to make dangerous situations in Syria’s airspace, flying in the breach of the Deconfliction Protocols and violating Syria’s airspace," he said.

"Twelve incursions by two pairs of F-15 fighter jets, two pairs of Typhoon fighter jets, a pair of A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft and two MQ-1C multipurpose drones belonging to the ‘coalition’ were recorded in the al-Tanf area over the past 24 hours," he added.
