Russia strikes in Syria widen conflict and triggers debate
Russian warplanes launched first airstrikes inside Syria to back Bashar Assad in a bid against Islamic State and al Qaida linked factions. The strikes targeted IS positions north of Homs while rebels and U.S. officials questioned the areas hit. White House officials signaled concern but did not object to targeting IS. The attacks followed Putin's UN speech declaring support for Assad as Moscow seeks to bolster his besieged government amid manpower shortages. At least 27 people were reported killed in opposition towns north of Homs, though civilian casualty details remain unconfirmed.
