Russia begins Syria air strikes as war enters volatile new phase

Posted: 30 Sep 2015 01:00 PM PDT

Russian President Putin chairs meeting with members of Security Council at Novo-Ogaryovo state residence outside MoscowBy Andrew Osborn and Phil Stewart MOSCOW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russia launched air strikes in Syria on Wednesday in the Kremlin's biggest Middle East intervention in decades, but Moscow's assertion that it had hit Islamic State was immediately disputed by the United States and rebels on the ground.

The attacks also raised the dangerous specter of Washington and Moscow running air strikes concurrently and in the same region, but without coordination.
