    Russia, Syria fume over U.S. strike on Syrian troops – CBS /  May 19 2017

    BEIRUT — A Syrian military official said Friday that an airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition on a government military position near the border with Jordan had killed several soldiers and caused material damage.
    The unnamed official’s comments were carried by Syrian state TV a day after the U.S.-led coalition said a U.S. airstrike had struck pro-Syrian government forces that the coalition said posed a threat to American troops and allied rebels operating near the border with Jordan.

    The attack was the first such close confrontation between U.S. forces and fighters backing President Bashar Assad.
    Russia also criticized the strike, with Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov Gatilov accusing the U.S. on Friday of violating Syria’s sovereignty and alleging the airstrike hit civilians, according to Russian media.
