June 8, 2017 – The US-led coalition has once again attacked Syrian militia forces near the At-Tanf training base where also US special forces are located. An attack on Tuesday was condemned by Moscow and Damascus. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov condemned the attack by the US coalition on ruling troops in Syria as an act of aggression which could not be justified. He described the “Deconfliction Zone“ near At- Tanf as illegitimate.
