UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday strongly condemned all violence and called for an end to hostilities after the latest escalation killed at least 237 people in Syria.
Guterres is concerned about the recent clashes in Syria's coastal areas, including reports of extrajudicial killings and civilian casualties, Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN secretary-general, said during a daily briefing.
The UN chief strongly condemns all violence in Syria and calls on the parties to protect civilians and cease hostilities, Dujarric said.
Guterres is alarmed by the risk of escalating tensions among communities in Syria at a time when reconciliation and peaceful political transition should be the priority, Dujarric said. "After 14 years of conflict, Syrians deserve sustainable peace, prosperity and justice."
At least 237 people have been killed in Syria's coastal region since the latest military escalation began on Thursday, according to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, on Friday.
