Syria thwarts coup d'etat plotted by former army officers
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The special services prevented the preparation of a coup d'etat in Syria, which was being prepared by officers of the former army. This was stated by the Minister of Internal Affairs Anas Khattab on April 16.

"We have thwarted the plans for a coup that were being prepared by officers of the overthrown regime that is now a thing of the past. This was possible thanks to the efforts of our armed forces and people," SANA reports him as saying.

It is noted that the operation to suppress the coup was coordinated by both the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defense of Syria. It was also decided to create a department responsible for pursuing criminals through increased coordination with other security services.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on December 8, 2024, former President of the Republic Bashar al-Assad resigned as head of state and left the country after the successful offensive of opposition groups on Damascus. He received political asylum in Russia. The head of the new government was Ahmed al-Sharaa.

On March 6, clashes broke out in Syria between Assad supporters and the forces of the new government. The clashes took place in Latakia and Tartus, after which the government sent in troops. Three days later, clashes began in the port city of Baniyas. According to the Kurdish television channel Rudaw, at least 532 civilians had died in the conflict as of March 8.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that Moscow wants to see the Syrian state stable and prosperous. He pointed out the need to ensure stability in the country, given the general explosiveness of the Middle East. Instability in one state in the region can cause a chain reaction in neighboring ones, the Kremlin representative emphasized.
