WASHINGTON: The United States warned Russia ahead of a massive military strike on a Syrian regime air base, the Pentagon said Thursday.
"Russian forces were notified in advance of the strike using the established deconfliction line," Navy Captain Jeff Davis said, referring to a special military hotline.
"US military planners took precautions to minimize risk to Russian or Syrian personnel located at the airfield."
