Bashar Assad “with a high probability” died in a plane crash, two sources of Reuters say. Collected everything that is known from the situation in Syria by this hour:
– Shortly before the capture of Damascus by the rebels, the Syrian Air plane flew out of the airport of the Syrian capital. It is assumed that President Bashar Assad could be aboard. In flight, the plane suddenly turned the other way, and then disappeared from the radar, also writes Reuters.
– Bashar Assad left Damascus around midnight and flew to the Russian base in Syria. It was assumed that from there he would go to Moscow. This was reported by Israeli journalist Barack Ravid with reference to sources in the Israeli government.
– The location of the aircraft is still unknown, follows from the data of the Flightradar24 service. The plane took off at 05:00 and after 40 minutes disappeared in the vicinity of the city of Homs. At this time, the ship was at an altitude of 495 meters. The plane could simply turn off the transponder, so Assad’s death can be a fake.
“He disappeared from the radar, perhaps the transponder was disconnected, but I believe that it is more likely that the aircraft was shot down,” one Syrian source said.
– Iran’s embassy in Damascus was assaulted, reports the Iranian television channel Press TV.
– Iraq is evacuating its embassy in Damascus against the backdrop of militants' statements about the establishment of control over the Syrian capital, the Iraqi Ina agency reports.
– Syria authorities hold meetings with militants to ensure public services, said Al Arabiya, the head of the country's Ministry of Industry. One of the radicals was told in Mash Room.
-The embassy and the consular department of the Russian diplomatic mission in Damascus continue to work “in the standard mode”-this is the official statement of the press service of the diplomatic representative.
