Syrian army regains areas lost to IS after US-led airstrike
Syria's state news agency is reporting that troops have regained control of areas they lost to the Islamic State group in the east of the country after an airstrike by the US-led coalition.
SANA quotes an unnamed military official as saying Sunday that dozens of IS fighters were killed in the offensive under the cover of Syrian airstrikes.
The Syrian military official said government troops had regained control of areas the extremists captured, "as a result of the American aircraft aggression."
The US military said it may have unintentionally struck Syrian troops while carrying out a raid against IS on Saturday.
