On June 25, a US MQ-9 Reaper drone from the pro-American coalition came dangerously close to a Russian Su-34 fighter jet in Syrian airspace, according to Russian military reports. The Russian pilot managed to prevent a collision, and Moscow has criticized the incident as reckless flying by US-led forces. Additionally, tensions have escalated with Russia summoning the US Ambassador over the use of American ATACMS missiles in a Crimea beach attack, which reportedly killed at least four people and injured 151 with a cluster warhead. Russia has blamed the United States for the attack and warned of retaliation, issuing a formal warning to the US Ambassador.
