Russian President Vladimir Putin says operations of Israeli air force breach Syria's sovereignty
He said that a Russian military plane had been shot down by anti-aircraft systems near Syria's coast because Russian-Israeli agreements on the prevention of dangerous incidents were not observed.
MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday that Israel's air force was conducting operations in breach of Syria's sovereignty, the Kremlin said in a statement.
Putin said that a Russian military plane had been shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft systems near Syria's coast because Russian-Israeli agreements on the prevention of dangerous incidents were not observed.
He also asked the Israeli side to avoid such situations in future, it said.
