Attack on Syrian forces backed by US

US-backed military groups have said they were attacked today by Russian aircraft and Syrian government forces in the border province of Syria, Deir al-Zour.

The attacks have injured six fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces, the coalition consisting of a majority Kurdish and Arab coalition fighting a US-led military coalition. The United States and Russia support separate offensives in Syria's multilateral conflict, with both sides advancing against the extremist group, the Islamic State, in the eastern region, bordering Iraq, Rel writes.

While, attacks separated by the Syrian government, supported by Russia and the Democratic Forces of Syria, which are backed by the US, have raised fears of clashes that could end up in tensions between the two world powers.
