MOSCOW: (APP) Russia's defence ministry on Sunday denied bombing US-backed rebels in southern Syria earlier this week.
In a video conference with Russian military officials, the Pentagon said Saturday that it had expressed "strong concerns about the attack on the coalition-supported counter-ISIL forces at the Al-Tanaf garrison."
Hours later Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov denied that Russia had bombed areas where US-backed rebels are operating.
