US-backed Syrians say hit by Russian airstrike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe main US-backed Syrian force fighting the Islamic State group says a Russian airstrike on a gas field it recently captured from the extremists killed one of its fighters.
A statement issued by the Syrian Democratic Forces says two other fighters were wounded in Monday’s strike in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour.
It says the attack occurred on the Conoco gas field, which the SDF captured from IS on Saturday.
On September 16, the SDF said a Russian airstrike wounded six of its fighters, but Moscow denied carrying out the attack. Russian officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the latest allegation.
