“Several members of the allied Syrian army forces were injured in clashes with the US military after they carried out an amphibious landing in the Syrian army-controlled village of Mulyuk Saray,” a local military source told RIA Novosti.

He added that the American side argued the landing with intentions to eliminate one of the members of the terrorist group "Islamic State"*.
