DAMASCUS: The Syrian government on Thursday blasted deadly US-led coalition air strikes on pro-regime forces in the country's east as a "war crime".
In a letter addressed to the United Nations Secretary General, the foreign ministry said the attack "represents a war crime and a crime against humanity".
The US-led coalition said on Thursday it carried out air strikes against pro-government fighters to defend its allies in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor.
