Russia has warned the United States that its troops will fire at U.S. Special Forces in Syria if they see evidence of collusion with ISIS.

Moscow issued the warning Thursday, claiming that its forces had come under fire from U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who seemed to be protecting ISIS.

Newsweek.com reports: Russia’s Ministry of Defense said mortars had been fired at its own special forces from positions held by U.S. troops and the SDF on the eastern banks of the Euphrates.

“A representative of the U.S. military command in [the U.S. operations center in Qatar] was told in no uncertain terms that any attempts to open fire from areas where SDF fighters are located would be quickly shut down,” Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement reported by Russian state news agency Tass.
