Moscow says five citizens likely killed in US Syria strikes

Five Russian citizens were likely killed in a US-led coalition bombing on pro-regime Syrian fighters last week, Moscow said Thursday, acknowledging non-military casualties in the attack for the first time. "We are possibly talking about the deaths of five people, supposedly citizens of the Russian Federation.
