US airstrikes target Syrian military position in Dayr al-Zawr: Damascus



Press TV - US-led coalition warplanes have targeted a Syrian military position in the countrys eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, Syrian state media reports.

According to Syria's statenewsagencySANA on early Monday, casualties have been reported from the strike which was carried out in al-Harra, southeast of Al Bukamal.

Reuters quoted a Syrian government forces commander as saying that the attack was "probably" launched by US drones which were targeting positions of Iraqi factions between Albu Kamal and Tanf and Syrian military positions.

A US Central Command spokesman, Major Josh Jacques, denied an military activity in the region.

"No member of the U.S.-led coalition carried out strikes near Albu Kamal," he said.

The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of achieving its declared goal of destroyingDaesh.



Syrias Ministry ofForeign AffairsandExpatriates has on multiple occasions sent letters to United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the rotating president of the UN Security Council, condemned the continuing attacks by the US-led coalition against innocent Syrians.

"The United States is losing its cards. The main card was al-Nusra, that was called moderate, but when scandals started leaking that theyre not moderate, that theyre Al-Qaeda, which is supposed to be fought by the United States, they started looking for another card. This card is the SDF [Syrian Democratic Forces] now,said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during an interview with RT.

Americans should leaveSyria, one way or another, he added.
