MOSCOW — Russian military officials denied responsibility for an airstrike in northern Syria that killed dozens of Turkish troops, as the risk of a major military confrontation between Russia and Turkey in the region escalated sharply.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense issued a statement Friday stating that no Russian jets had been operating in the area of the strike in Idlib province Thursday.
“Aircraft of the Russian Air Force did not engage in combat in the Behun vicinity,” the ministry said.
Gov. Rahmi Dogan of Hatay province in Turkey, announced that 33 soldiers were killed. Dozens more were wounded.
The Russian statement said it had warned Syria to cease the attacks on anti-regime fighters in the Behun region when it became aware of the Turkish casualties.

I don’t care who is killing the Turks as long as they get properly killed.
LOL!
Didn’t the Democrats all get pissed when Trump didn’t want to be in the middle of this (and the media echo’d the Democrats with zero pushback?)
**** all ‘yall.
Where is a breathless Richard Engel, (NBDNC) reporting on “the horrors” of this?
Why were they in Syria to get killed to begin with?
Not our problem.
A warlet in the ME between Turkiye and Russia would be nice.
Russia Vs. Turkey; now that would be a hoot!!!! Get it on guys.
WINNING! I can’t imagine a better scenario than this one, all made possible by our wonderful President’s actions that so enraged the Deep State.
Because the Syrian Rebels have an airforce somewhere...right...
