Russia warns against US "direct" attack in Syria, creating terrorists of all stripes

“Direct aggression” by the United States towards the Syrian government and armed forces would lead to “frightening, tectonic shifts” in the Middle East, RIA news agency cited Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying on Saturday.



Russia and the United States back opposing sides in the Syrian conflict.

A US-Russian brokered ceasefire in Syria recently fell apart, and Russian war planes on Saturday struck "rebel"-held areas north of the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Zakharova warned that regime change in Syria would create a vacuum that would be “quickly filled” by “terrorists of all stripes.”

US-Russian tensions over Syria have escalated since the breakdown of a cease-fire last month, with each side blaming the other for its failure.

Syrian government forces backed by Russian warplanes have launched a major onslaught on "rebel"-held parts of the northern city of Aleppo.
