A Russian military delegation visited the city of Qamishli and Heik at the Qamishli International Airport, which is under the control of the Syrian government, as a delegation of Kurdish units arrived in Damascus.

A Russian military delegation arrived late on Friday at Qamishli International Airport, according to Sputnik news agency.
