The US says they didn’t bomb Assad’s base Sunday night. Though obviously, someone bombed it. Everyone flying over Syria is either an ally of Assad or an ally of the US (the various terrorist groups do not have air forces).
So if the US didn’t bomb them, they must know who did, right?
Syria accused U.S.-led coalition aircraft of hitting a Syrian army position and killing three soldiers in an airstrike overnight Sunday, the first such allegation of its kind since the United States launched an air campaign against the Islamic State in Syria 14 months ago.
The U.S. military swiftly denied that coalition warplanes were operating in the area at the time, but the allegation nonetheless sent tensions soaring in Syria’s crowded skies.
U.S. warplanes did conduct strikes in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour overnight, but the targets were 55 kilometers (34 miles) from the location that the Syrian government said was hit, according to Col. Steve Warren, the U.S. military spokesman for the campaign.
The Russian air force also carried out strikes in the province of Deir al-Zour overnight Sunday, Warren said, speaking from Baghdad. But he said but he did not know whether the Russians may have been responsible for the attack that allegedly struck the Syrian army position.
Haha.
Yes, just as Assad is the one buying the oil from ISIS (according to Erdogan), now Russia is bombing Assad.
The problem is there is no one else to blame these things on, but they have to blame someone.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry called the alleged attack an act of “heinous aggression.” The ministry said it sent letters of complaint to the U.N. secretary general and the U.N. Security Council urging the United Nations to take “urgent measures” to prevent such an incident from occurring again.
“The aggression on the military post hinders the efforts aiming to fight terrorism and reiterates that the U.S.- led coalition lacks seriousness and credibility in the fight against terrorism,” the Syrian Foreign Ministry statement said.
Four coalition warplanes struck a Syrian army post with nine rockets late on Sunday, killing three soldiers and injuring 13, according to the statement. In addition, the strike destroyed three armored vehicles, four military vehicles, two heavy machine guns and a depot of arms and ammunition, it said.
In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he could not confirm the information provided by the Syrian government.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.
Russia will presumably make statements. They just must gather their party before venturing forth.
UPDATE
Haha.
The US actually did come out and blame Russia.
The U.S. military alleged Monday that Russian warplanes were responsible for an attack on a Syrian army position in eastern Syria, an airstrike that Syria blamed on the U.S.-led coalition battling the Islamic State militant group in the country.
The Syrian government issued an angry statement earlier in the day accusing coalition aircraft of carrying out the overnight attack in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour. The government said three Syrian soldiers were killed and 13 others injured in the strike.
…
A U.S. military official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, later said the Pentagon is “certain” that a Russian warplane was responsible for the attack. There was no immediate response to the charge from either Syria or Russia.
