It is known that terrorists in Idlib, allies of "Jabhat al-Nusra" (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), fired at the observation post of the Turkish army, despite the ceasefire agreement.
It was stressed that the Turkish command requested the assistance of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Warring Parties "in ensuring the security of servicemen and striking a punitive blow at the positions of terrorists."
"According to the coordinates provided by the Turkish side, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out four bombing raids. As a result, terrorists' militants and field artillery units in the Dokmak residential area and the Jebel-Tavert peak, which had fired at the Turkish observation post, were completely destroyed," the statement said.
The statement stressed that close cooperation between the Russian and Turkish command posts in the fight against terrorism in Syria will continue.
