Earlier in the day, the Syrian Defense Ministry said that that airstrikes had been carried out on the headquarters of forces allied to the Syrian army in the province of Deir ez-Zur in eastern Syria, killing 8 and injuring over 30 civilians and military personnel.
Washington must stop its illegal presence in Syria and stop overtly supporting ISIS* and other terrorist organizations by providing funding and arms for terrorist attacks, the ministry said, as cited by the Syrian news agency SANA.
"Unknown aircraft struck the headquarters of the allied forces in the central part of the city of Deir ez-Zor, as a result, 15 civilians, including women and children, and several soldiers were injured," a source earlier told Sputnik.
* ISIS (also known as ISIL/IS/Islamic State) is a terrorist group outlawed in Russia and many other countries.
