Washington (IINA) – The United States denied on Monday Syria's claim that a US-led air alliance against Islamic State (IS) militants had targeted a camp of Syrian regime forces in the war-torn country, killing three of its soldiers and injuring 13, news agencies reported.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry said jets struck the camp on Sunday in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour, condemning the attack as "blatant aggression”. The first time Damascus has made such an accusation.
US military spokesman Steve Warren denied the coalition had conducted the alleged strike.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, reported that the suspected US-led coalition airstrike hit a Syrian army post near an IS stronghold in Deir al-Zour, killing four soldiers.
"We know for sure that the strike was not launched by Russian planes because Moscow is an ally of al-Assad's regime," Observatory chief Rami Abdel-Rahman told DPA.
Russia began its aerial campaign in Syria in September with the aim of targeting Islamic State and other radical groups.
