"There are no indications that any civilians were killed in this strike and the coalition is assessing reports of a civilian injury," said the CENTCOM statement on Sunday.U.S. aircraft normally operate in eastern Syria where 900 U.S. troops are involved in counter-IS operations, while Russian troops and aircraft operate in western Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
