MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian military police and the Turkish armed forces have conducted their second joint training in the Syrian province of Idlib, the deputy head of the Russian Defence Ministry’s Centre for Syrian Reconciliation, Rear Admiral Alexander Grinkevich, said on Tuesday.
The rear admiral noted that the coordination of reconnaissance and combat drone activities, including during the target engagement, were practiced during the training.
Grinkevich added that Syrian militants from the Jabhat al-Nusra* terror group shelled three villages in the provinces of Latakia and Aleppo.
The admiral told reporters that Russian military police continued patrolling the province of Aleppo. No attacks by Turkish-backed armed groups were recorded in the past day.
On 5 March, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, agreed on a ceasefire in Idlib, which started at midnight. The sides also agreed to create a security corridor six kilometres (3.7 miles) north and south of the M4 highway in Syria, which connects the provinces of Latakia and Aleppo.
