Alwaght- A terrorist group fighting Syrian government in the country claims it has killed 6 Russian forces on Saturday, al-Masdar News reported.
The little known Faylaq al-Sham terrorist group claimed its members infiltrated the Syrian Arab army forces in Hama and killed the Russians there.
Faylaq al-Sham otherwise known as the Sham Legion is a coalition of terrorist groups operating throughout Syria.
The report says independent sources cannot confirm the claim but the Russian Defense Ministry has rejected the killing of its forces.
At Damascus’ request, Russian airpower has been backing up the Syrian military’s anti-terrorist operations since last September. The support campaign has proven vital in the Syrian army’s counter-terrorism offensives.
