ANKARA, 23 March, 2021 (TON): In the latest advancement in the Syrian air strikes, Turkey asked Russia to assist in protecting the northwestern Syria.

Several attacks are hitting the civilian targets and wounding several civilians however, the Syrian artillery also killed at least seven civilians and injured medical staff in an attack on a hospital in the rebel-controlled town of Al-Atareb.

 On Sunday, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that strikes carried out by Russian jets hit a fuel depot in Bab al-Hawa, near the Turkish border.

The Turkish Defense Ministry sent a statement to Russia after the Qah airstrike, asking it to stop the attacks.

The Kremlin did not even release any statement after Turkey’s Sunday announcement for helping to stop the attacks in Syria.

However, tensions are increasing and it is a consciously escalated standoff that might undermine the Turkey-Russia partnership in the region.
