Syrian army imposes no-fly-zone over Idlib province

The Syrian army announced on Sunday that it was imposing a no-fly-zone over the country’s Idlib province, saying any hostile aircraft will be targeted, a move that came a day after Turkish drones killed 26 Syrian soldiers. The airspace over northwestern Syria, particularly Idlib, is closed to any flight or drones and any aircraft violating the airspace will be dealt with as a hostile target and will be shot down, Xinhua news agency quoted state media as saying. On Saturday, the Turkish drones targeted the Syrian government forces and vehicles in Idlib, a day after 48 Syrian soldiers were killed by similar attacks in the province. The escalation in the Turkish attacks on Syrian forces come after an attack that killed 34 Turkish soldiers on Thursday, which was blamed on the Syrian government forces. (IANS)
