The Syrian foreign minister says the illegal US military presence in northern Syria is reaching its end, and areas occupied by American forces will soon come under Damascus’ authority.

Russian forces have used advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to fire on Israeli jets during a recent air attack by the Tel Aviv regime on targets in Syria’s western-central province of Hama last week.

US occupation forces are reportedly training some 500 Daesh terrorists in order to carry out acts of sabotage and terrorists attacks against units of Russian armed forces in Ukraine.

A probe claims it has found no wrongdoing in a 2019 US strike against Syria that killed at least 80 civilians.

A barrage of rockets reportedly hit a military facility housing US occupation forces in Syria’s oil-rich northeastern province of Hasakah, but the casualties and the extent of the damage was still unclear.

The Russian military says Syrian air defense units have destroyed 16 of 22 Israeli missiles targeting the Arab country’s western-central province of Hama with Russian-made surface-to-air missile systems.

Syria urges the UN and the world body's Security Council to issue a "clear" condemnation of Israeli aggression against the Arab country.
