Moscow, SANA – Russian Defense Ministry denied information reported by media outlets about the killing of five Russian soldiers on the road between the cities of Banias and Jableh.
Spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday that this information is false and incorrect.
“The reports of the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera about the alleged deaths of Russian servicemen in Syria are yet another disinformation… All Russian soldiers in the Syrian Arab Republic are safe and sound and fulfilling their duties,” Konashenkov added.
He also expressed regret over the broadcaster’s “spreading fakes.”
