Fewed by - Muzammil Zafar
An Airbus A320 carrying 172 passengers en route from Tehran to Damascus was forced to undertake an emergency landing in the Khmeimim Air Base under Russian control, narrowly escaping Syrian air defense systems which were on high alert due to Israeli air raids. A timely intervention from Damascus airport dispatchers proved crucial in enabling the passenger plane's safe escort from the danger zone.
