MOSCOW, August 12.
/TASS/. Two drones launched by militants have been downed by the Russian
military near the Hmeymim airbase in Syria, chief of the Russia Center for
Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties Alexei Tsygankov said on Sunday.
"During the past
day, radars of the Russian airbase at Hmeymim spotted two unmanned aerial
vehicles launched from the Idlib de-escalation zone controlled by illegal armed
groups. The airbase’s missile defense systems downed these air targets at a
safe distance from the base. No one was hurt, no material damage was done. The
Russian airbase is operating routinely," he said.
The Russian
reconciliation center has called on commanders of illegal armed groups to stop
armed provocations and embark on a path of peaceful settlement of the situation
in the areas under their control.
