BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – NATO is concerned over intensified Russian military operations and cruise missile strikes on October 7 targeting Islamic State militant positions, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday.
“In Syria we have seen a troubling escalation of Russian military activities. We will assess the latest developments and their implications for the security of the Alliance. This is particularly relevant in the view of the recent violations of NATO’s airspace by Russian aircraft,” Stoltenberg told journalists ahead of the NATO Council at the level of Defense Ministers in Brussels.
