Syria has arrested five officers from the former Assad-era air force, according to Tartous security officials cited by Anadolu Agency. The detainees include pilots, field commanders and operations-room officers accused of involvement in planning, directing and carrying out airstrikes on populated areas.
The arrests come as Syria undergoes transitional governance following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in December 2024. Accountability measures for alleged war crimes during the civil conflict remain ongoing.
