Moscow has called an urgent UN Security Council meeting after US-led coalition airstrikes hit Syrian forces, killing 62 soldiers and wounding 100 more, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The Foreign Ministry has also demanded full and detailed explanation from Washington over the incident in Dier al-Zor, in which 62 Syrian troops were killed and over 100 injured.
Moscow stressed that it was concerned by the US airstrike targeting the Syrian army units which had been destroying the Islamic State.
The ministry added that the Russian side had never been notified of US plans to carry out bombings in the Dier al Zor area.
Earlier on Saturday Russia's Defence Ministry said that four strikes against Syrian positions had been delivered by US-led coalition aircraft - two F-16 jet fighters and two A-10 support aircraft.
The Syrian military called the bombing a "serious and blatant aggression" against Syrian forces, and said it was "conclusive evidence" that the US and its allies support IS militants.
US Central Command later issued a statement, saying that the US-led "coalition would not intentionally strike a known Syrian military unit." It promised to look into the incident.
Anybody see samantha powers on tv? she’s trying to provoke a war with the Russians.
I have a feeling this was done to get a reaction from Trump and the media can take advantage of it. I wouldn’t put it past them.
The Obamatollah is coming out of the closet in his final four months of power.
Looks like Obama’s true colors are showing. You can’t tell me this was some “accident.” It’s just a shame that our military is promoting jihad for ISIS without knowing it.
Maybe, dono, but as the pieces of the puzzle get put in, the picture will get clear.
We can send missiles to within feet of a target and miss this by miles?
No sale.
Of course, MSM will work to cloud the issue.
The US Justice Department will lead the investigation into this incident. No Worries!
A terrible crisis is rising up in Syria. It could drag in Lebanon, Greece, etc.
Obama & Hillary HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING ISIS all along.....that’s why the GOPe Congress didn’t really investigate Benghazi & the murder of Ambassador Stevens...
This was no accident. Obama has been humiliated by Putin on the world stage. Look for Obama to do whatever he can to give Putin the finger before he leaves office.
The question now is, how will Putin respond?
“The question now is, how will Putin respond?”
He will initiate a no fly zone at the “request” of Assad.
0bama wants to get Americans killed
It’s not just Obammy, it’s most of the Beltway elite.
No matter what official Washington says, the end game has always been the elimination of the Assad Regime. His regime has always been an “inconvenience” for many nations in the area.
And then just blow the place up.
We just attached the troops of a sovereign state inside its own borders without a declaration of war.
How is this different than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?
What? A meeting?
That’s why democrats are so sympathetic to terrorists. They’re on the same side.
Is this why we got bombs going off in NYC tonight? To distract from the latest fiasco by the a-hole in chief?
