Syria condemns Jordanian strikes that it says killed seven civilians

On Tuesday Syria's foreign ministry condemned Jordanian strikes in southern Syria as an unacceptable airspace breach. Syria says seven people died, including three children and a woman, while Jordan said it regretted the civilian casualties. Jordan's military says the strikes were retaliation for Friday's attack on a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, and Syrian state media says they threaten relations between the neighbors.

• Syria says seven people were killed, including three children and a woman; Jordan says it regrets civilian casualties.
• Jordan's air force said on Monday it struck 'terrorist groups' in Syria, reporting many militants killed or wounded and vehicles destroyed, without naming the groups or exact locations.
• The Karak church attack on Friday killed nine people, and Jordan arrested three suspects on Monday after what authorities say was an exchange of fire.
