The US and Russian military will hold talks "as soon as possible" to avoid clashing in Syria

Russian defence officials say their aircraft carried out about 20 missions against the so-called Islamic State group (IS) on Wednesday.

But the US expressed fears the targets were non-IS opponents of Russia's ally, Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.

The US is targeting IS with air strikes in both Syria and Iraq.

Nato said there had been little co-ordination by Russia with US-led forces against IS, also known as Isil.


The US says it was informed of Wednesday's air strikes only an hour before they took place.



What if the targets weren't ISIS and turn out to be kalab Bashar's allies?

They're playing chess with Syrian lives.

Remember Assad laughing at Gaddafi, he's next

I really feel for the civilians ninyow.

Russia operates in Syria at the request of the legitimate government there, whilst the US/UK do so illegally. Being responsible for the creation of IS, and being responsible for prolonging the Syrian civil war by backing what the media amusingly labels 'moderate' rebels, it's the West that needs to stand down and stop hindering the destruction of IS with its covert military action against Assad.
