BRUSSELS (AA) - NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Friday condemned the attacks carried out by the Bash al-Assad regime and its supporter Russia in Idlib, northwestern Syria.

Stoltenberg has also called for an end to the attacks, NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu told Anadolu Agency.

He also called on the Syrian regime and its supporter Russia to comply with international law and support the peace efforts of the United Nations.

“By defusing the tension, all sides should prevent this terrible situation and humanitarian conditions in the region from getting worse,” he said.

At least 29 Turkish soldiers were martyred and 36 others injured in an airstrike by the Bashar al-Assad regime in Idlib, northwestern Syria, on late Thursday.
