Russia and Turkey conduct joint patrol mission in Syrian governorate

Russian and Turkish servicemen conducted a regular joint patrol mission in Syria’s al-Hasakah governorate, chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria Oleg Zhuravlev said.

"A regular joint Russian-Turkish patrol mission was conducted along the route Deiruna Aga-Tell Sayyid-Tell Khatun-Deiruna Aga in the al-Hasakah governorate," TASS cited him as saying.

He added that the Russian military police conducted patrol missions along other routes in the Aleppo and al-Hasakah governorates. Russia’s air taskforce conducted an aerial patrol mission from the Metras airfield.

According to Zhuravlev, no shelling attacks by Turkey-controlled armed groups were reported in Syria’s Idlib de-escalation zone during the past day. However, two shelling attacks from the positions of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization (outlawed in Russia) were reported in the settlements of Rwaiha and Kafer Battih in the Idlib governorate.
