Russian Defense Ministry responded to the US accusations of an airstrike on the Syrian opposition
According to him, “in the framework of this operation, the manpower, armored vehicles and objects of terrorists are destroyed both on the west and on the east bank of the Euphrates.” Russian VKS "deliver pinpoint strikes only on reconnoitered and confirmed through several channels" targets in areas controlled by terrorists.
Therefore, Konashenkov emphasized how “oppositionists or military advisers of the countries of the international coalition” could “penetrate into the military forces of the IG in the eastern part of Deir-ez-Zor”, only the representatives of the international coalition themselves can answer.
We will remind, earlier in the Pentagon stated that several fighters of the US-backed detachments of the “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDS) suffered during an air strike of the Russian ASC. According to the ministry, "September 16 Russian forces hit a target east of the Euphrates River in Syria near Deir ez-Zor, because of which the forces of the coalition partners suffered."
