 The US-led coalition’s fighter jets and drones violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area 13 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 Tuesday.

"Three pairs of F-35, a pair of F-16, and a pair of Rafale fighter jets, as well as three MQ-1C multi-role unmanned aerial vehicles, violated Syria’s airspace in the al-Tanf area, across which international air routes run, 13 times during the day," he said.
