Washington: Russia, Not US, Bombed Syrian Army Camp

Syria is accusing a U.S.-led coalition of bombing an army camp in the eastern part of the country.

Three Syrian soldiers were killed and 13 others were injured in Monday's bombing.

"This hampers efforts to combat terrorism and proves once again that this coalition lacks seriousness and credibility to effectively fight terrorism," the government in Damascus wrote in a letter to the United Nations.

But a senior U.S. military official says the Pentagon is "certain" the strike was from a Russian warplane.

"We did not strike any vehicles or personnel targets in this area. We have no indication any Syrian soldiers were even near our strikes," the coalition said in a statement.

This marks the first time Syria has accused the U.S.-led coalition of hitting its troops.
