US says Syrians killed by Russian airstrike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA senior US military official says the United States is “certain” that it was a Russian airstrike that killed three Syrian soldiers and wounded 13 others.
The US has said it was not a coalition strike, but Syria’s government accused the US-led alliance of bombing the army camp and hitting troops loyal to President Bashar Assad.
The city of Deir el-Zour, where the strikes are said to have been carried out on Sunday, is mainly held by the Islamic State group, but the Syrian government maintains a presence in some parts of it.
The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, so spoke on condition of anonymity.
