Russia implies US involvement in drone strikes on Syria military bases | World news | The Guardian

'Russia has said that a recent series of drone attacks on its military bases in Syria would have required assistance from a country possessing satellite navigation technology – a statement that appeared to be aimed at the United States. '

'In Tuesday’s statement, it noted a “strange coincidence” of a US military intelligence plane flying over the Mediterranean near the two Russian bases at the moment of the attack. '

'Syria’s President Bashar Assad has recovered major territory from rebels in Syria in the past two years, largely because of Russia’s military support. '

' His forces are currently battling rebels on two fronts, in the north-western Idlib province and in the eastern suburbs of Damascus. '

'Asked on Tuesday whether the withdrawal could have been premature in view of the drone attack, Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the Russian forces in Syria have “all the necessary means” to counter any challenge. '
