MOSCOW, February 22. /TASS/. Aircraft belonging to the US-led international coalition made seven 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.
"Seven violations by the coalition’s pair of F-15 fighter jets, pair of F-16 fighter jets, pair of Typhoon fighter jets and MQ-1C multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle were recorded in the al-Tanf area over the past 24 hours," Kulit said.
In addition, two violations of the deconfliction protocols of December 9, 2019, which are related to flights by the international coalition’s drones not coordinated with the Russian side, were recorded over the past 24 hours.
In addition, according to Kulit, such actions by the coalition continue to create dangerous preconditions for air incidents and accidents, and also aggravate the situation in Syria’s airspace.
Kulit said that two shelling attacks by the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist group (banned in Russia) against the Syrian government forces’ positions in the Idlib province had been recorded.
