US warns Damascus of 'firm action' over advancing on South


(MENAFN) The US has warned Damascus it will take "firm" action if Syrian Arab army breached a ceasefire deal, after Syrian aircraft dropped leaflets on a southern province ahead of an expected offensive.

Residents of Daraa told AFP on Friday that several different leaflets were scattered across the province.

The U.S., Russia and Jordan agreed last year to include Daraa in a "de-escalation zone" to freeze the lines of conflict.

The US statement on Friday it was concerned by reports that army forces were preparing for an operation in southwestern Syria. It warned the government against "any actions that risk broadening the conflict."
