Turkish F-16s and howitzers continue to strike at regime targets. About 40 points became our goals. As a result of the fire, 30-35 Syrians were neutralized.
According to Erdogan, after the incident, as a result of which the military personnel died, Russian and Turkish generals are in constant contact and Russia received a message in advance warning about the strike on the positions of the Syrian army.
