MOSCOW. Jan 10 (Interfax) - Aircraft of the U.S.-led international antiterrorist coalition continue to create dangerous situations in Syria by trespassing on the Syrian airspace, deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria Rear Adm. Vadim Kulit said.
"Four violations of the deconfliction protocols dated December 9, 2019, by flights of the coalition's unmanned aerial vehicles uncoordinated with the Russian side were observed over the past day," Kulit said at a press briefing on Tuesday.
"Five violations by a pair of F-16 fighter jets, a pair of A-10 Thunderbolt attack planes and an MQ-1S multirole unmanned aerial vehicle of the coalition were recorded in the Al-Tanf area in the past 24 hours," he said.
He also reported eight attacks on positions of Syrian government forces by the Jabhat al-Nusra and Turkistan Islamic Party terrorist networks banned in Russia in the Idlib de-escalation area.
Snipers and mortars of the militants attacked Syrian army positions in the Aleppo and Latakia provinces, killing two and injuring three Syrian soldiers, Kulit said.
