 Jets strike U.S.- backed forces in eastern Syria 

BEIRUT 25 Sep (ANA) - U.S.- backed Syrian militias said Russian warplanes struck their positions in Deir al-Zor province on Monday, near a major natural gas field they seized from Islamic State in recent days.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias, has been fighting Islamic State on the eastern bank of the Euphrates river with U.S.-led jets and special forces. The SDF on one hand, and Syrian troops with Russian air power on the other, have converged on Islamic State in separate offensives in Deir al-Zor. Spokesman Mustafa Bali said the attack on Monday “by land and air” had wounded SDF fighters.(ANA)
