(Source: Reuters Photo)The Pentagon has admitted the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria may have struck Syrian military positions inside the country after Russia accused it of killing at least 62 Syrian troops. Washington has “relayed our regret through the Russian Federation for the unintentional loss of life of Syrian forces,” he said. Syria’s armed forces said coalition aircraft hit a Syrian military position near the Deir Ezzor airport in the country’s east, in what appears to have been the first time coalition forces have hit a Syrian regime target.
