WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US and Russian military have discussed the issue of Russian Aerospace Forces' alleged airstrikes on Syrian opposition, the US Department of Defense said Saturday.
"The Department of Defense today held a video conference… with Russian Ministry of Defense counterparts. The video conference was held to discuss airstrikes conducted by Russian forces on June 16 on the At-Tanf border garrison, striking Syrian opposition forces conducting counter-ISIL operations in the area," the statement reads.
Earlier this week, US media reported citing an anonymous official that Russia had allegedly hit the positions of the Syrian opposition forces, which are supported by Washington.
