“Strikes on Syrian forces by US ‘unacceptable’ – Russia

The Russia government on Friday condemned strikes by the US-led coalition against Syrian forces as “unacceptable”, state media reported, after the bombing of pro-government troops.

“Such actions that were carried out against the Syrian armed forces… this is completely unacceptable, this is a breach of Syrian sovereignty,” deputy foreign minister Gennady Gatilov was quoted as saying by state-run RIA Novosti in Geneva.
