A senior Syrian official has slammed the US-led coalition for violating the country's national sovereignty, vowing to bring legal action against states and persons responsible for bloodshed in Syria.

Minister of Justice, Najim al-Ahmed, made the remarks at a symposium focusing on the roles played by the US, Turkey and France in the Middle East.

The Syrian government has repeatedly said that all sides involved in the fight against terrorism in Syria must respect its sovereignty.

However, the US-led coalition has been conducting air strikes in the country since 2014 without authorization from Damascus or the United Nations.
