MOSCOW, June 30. /TASS/. The US-led coalition’s aircraft violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area fifteen times during the past day, Yury Popov, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria (a division of the Russian defense ministry), said on Sunday.
"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. "Three pairs of the coalition’s F-15, a pair of Rafale fighter jets, three pairs of A-10 Thunderbolt attack bombers, as well as an MS-12W electronic reconnaissance plane violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area, across which international air routes run, 15 times during the day."
