U.S. Defense Secretary General James Mattis has said that the U.S. was puzzled by the attack near Deir ez-Zor last week. "The Russians told us they had no forces there initially. I think that's still the case but we don't have full clarity on what the regime forces are doing there," Mattis said over the weekend. The U.S. and Russian militaries have de-confliction channels to prevent accidental clashes in Syria and alert each other to movements. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
