"Army General Sergei Shoigu notified his colleague about the known circumstances of the crash of the Russian Il-20 aircraft off the coast of Syria, which led to the tragic death of 15 Russian servicemen," the report said.
It is noted that Parley expressed condolences in connection with the tragedy and offered assistance in conducting a search operation.
In turn, Shoigu thanked her and informed him of the sufficiency of Russian forces to complete the search activities.
Earlier, the French Permanent Mission to the United Nations expressed condolences in connection with the crash of the IL-20.
According to the statement of the Russian Defense Ministry, the incident was due to the fact that the Israeli Air Force pilots were covered by Russian aircraft, substituting it for the fire of Syrian air defense weapons.
