Australia on Tuesday said it had halted its airstrikes in Syria
following a warning from Russia that it would target US coalition
aircraft after a US fighter jet shot down a Syrian warplane.
“As a precautionary measure, Australian Defence Force (ADF) strike
operations into Syria have temporarily ceased,” a Defence Department
spokesman told dpa via email.
“ADF force protection is regularly reviewed in response to a range of potential threats.”
Australia is a member of the core group of nations conducting
military operations in Iraq and Syria. It joined the US-led coalition
against the Islamic State extremist group in August 2014 and extended
the airstrikes into Syria a year later on Washington’s request.
Australia has conducted one of the highest number of airstrikes in
Syria and Iraq, according to Airwars, a Britain-based non-profit
research group monitoring airstrikes.
Australia will continue airstrikes in Iraq, the Defence Department spokesman said on Tuesday.
The defence forces are closely monitoring the air situation in Syria,
the department said, and they will decide on the resumption of air
operations in Syria in due course.
On Monday, Moscow warned that it would treat all US coalition
aircraft west of the Euphrates river in Syria as “airborne targets.”

The Russian Defence Ministry also said it was ending cooperation on a
US-Russian agreement that had been designed to prevent a direct
conflict between the two powers in Syria.(dpa/NAN)
