Earlier this week, media reports claimed that a recent US airstrike in Syria left Russian servicemen dead, putting the figures anywhere from dozens to several hundred.

Those reports stemmed from anti-government fighters in Syria, who spread them accompanied by doctored images, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at her weekly news conference.

According to Zakharova, the US attack could have killed five people, purportedly Russian citizens, but this information still needs verification. She added that those who were killed in the airstrike did not serve in the Russian armed forces.
