"In the area of Al-Tanf, which is under the control of the so-called "international anti-terrorist coalition", another attempt to commit a terrorist act against the government forces of the SAR was suppressed," he said at a briefing.
At 23:30 (Moscow time) on May 18, the Syrian military saw a group of militants in three pickup trucks in the area of Tell al-Tuwayed, who tried to secretly leave Al-Tanf.
"After fire from the government forces of the SAR, the group disappeared in the territory controlled by the "coalition" in the area of the Slubi valley," the CPVS reported.
This incident shows the inability of the "coalition" to ensure control over Al-Tanf and fulfill its obligations to suppress terrorist attacks by terrorist groups, Gurinov stressed.
