On Sep. 17th, US-led coalition airstrikes in Deir ez-Zor attacked Syrian military personnel with at least 83 deaths and over 100 injuries. The UN Security Council convened an emergency session at Russia's request.
==SERGEY SHOYGU, Russia's Defense Minister==
The Syrian military units at Deir ez-Zor was attacked by the US-led coalition. The bombing caused significant casualties.
Russia accused the US-led coalition for killing 62 Syrian soldiers in the four airstrikes near the Deir ez-Zor airport. A Syrian human rights organization said that the airstrikes killed 83 and injured 125 soldiers. The US halted the military operation immediately after they received the information.
==SAMANTHA POWER, US Ambassador to the UN==
If we determine we did indeed strike Syrian military personnel, that was not our intention, and, we, of course, regret the loss of life. Even by Russia's standards, tonight's stunt, a stunt replete with moralism and grandstanding, is uniquely cynical and hypocritical.
The US Central Command stated that they conducted the airstrike after they had been tracking a Daesh target for a long period of time. Syria's situation is complex, with military forces and militias in close proximity. It is not their intention to bomb the Syrian military positions, and the coalition will learn from this incident.
A ceasefire agreement in Syria brokered by the US and Russia just took effect on Sep. 12th, but both sides have been accusing each other of violating the agreement. After the US airstrike blunder, Russia requested an emergency UN Security Council Session right away. Tensions between the US and Russia continued in their press conferences. With the ceasefire in jeopardy, UN supplies that were meant to be distributed to the Syrian people are now stuck at the Turkish border.

敘利亞政府軍在代爾祖爾
遭到美國為首的國際聯軍攻擊
這波攻擊造成重大死傷
俄羅斯指控美國為首的聯軍在代爾祖爾機場附近發動四次空襲,造成62名敘利亞軍人喪生。敘利亞人權組織則表示,這波空襲造成83死、125傷。美國接獲通知後立刻停止這個區域的軍事行動。
==美國駐聯合國大使 鮑爾==
如果我們真的誤炸敘利亞政府軍
絕對不是我們的本意
我們也對造成生命的損失感到遺憾
俄羅斯今晚只是在作秀
充滿道德主義跟譁眾取寵的偽善
美軍中央司令部當天也發表聲明,強調是長期追蹤伊斯蘭國目標之後,確認無誤才進行空襲。並表示敘利亞局勢複雜,政府軍跟武裝人員位置往往相距不遠,絕不是故意轟炸敘利亞政府軍,聯軍將對這次空襲進行檢討從中汲取教訓。
美俄推動的敘利亞停火協議12號才正式生效,不過連日來,雙方都互控對方違反協議,結果美方又在這時出紕漏,落人口實。俄羅斯馬上要求聯合國安理會召開緊急會議,兩國大使的砲火,從閉門會議打到場外記者會。搖搖欲墜的停火協議,也讓原本要送給敘利亞15萬民眾的聯合國救援物資,卡在土耳其邊界動彈不得。
