A deadly ambush near Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartous resulted in 14 interior ministry personnel killed and 10 injured.

Lavrov also discusses Russia’s commitment to dialogue with Syria’s new authorities and criticizes Western interference, which he deems as diplomatic crudeness. This is a bold stance on Syria's future and its relationship with global powers.
