ANKARA: Turkish drone strikes in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province killed 19 government soldiers on Sunday, a war monitor reported, as tensions soared between Damascus and Ankara.
Syrian state media said Turkish forces “targeted” two of its planes over Idlib. A rebel group and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, both said the planes had been downed. Turkish forces hit Syrian government positions after Erdogan warned Damascus would “pay a price” for the air strike.
The Russian and Turkish foreign ministers also spoke by telephone on Sunday, Moscow’s ministry said, to discuss preparations for the meeting between the two leaders, and the safety of the Sputnik journalists. The situation on the Greek island of Lesbos grew tenser on Sunday as local people blocked around 50 migrants, including children, from landing their boat after several hours at sea, AFP photographers witnessed.
