Coalition aircraft violated deconfliction protocols in Syria eight times in one day. This was stated at a briefing by the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Syrian Arab Republic.

According to him, the violations were committed by a pair of F-16 fighters and one MQ-1C multi-role unmanned aerial vehicle. Earlier, the Russian President for the Syrian settlement said that a surge in terrorist activity with the support of the United States was again observed in Syria.
