Russia says Israeli strikes on Syrian airports a 'gross violation of sovereignty'

MOSCOW, Oct 13, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Russia condemned the Israeli strikes that knocked Syria's two main airports on Thursday, saying they were a dangerous breach on international law.
 
   "These actions by the Israeli side constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic and of the basic norms of international law," Russia's foreign ministry said, adding "such military actions are fraught with extremely dangerous consequences, as they could provoke an armed escalation throughout the region".
