Russian MoD Says US Missile Attack on Syrian Airbase Prepared Long Ago

The Russian Defense Ministry said that the US missile attack on a Syrian airbase had been prepared long ago.


Russia described the attack as an aggression against a sovereign state.

Following the US military action, Russia decided to suspend its memorandum of understanding on air safety over Syria with the United States, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The Russian Defense Ministry considers the US attack on a Syrian airfield in the Homs province a gross violation of a memorandum on the safety of flights over Syria.

Thus, Russia has suspended the cooperation with the US aimed to avoid incidents in Syrian airspace.
