THE SYRIAN OBSERVATORY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IS A PROPAGANDA FRONT FUNDED BY THE EU:
'The-Syrian-Observatory-for-Human-Rights' has, long ago, been exposed as an absurd propaganda front operated by Rami Abdul Rahman, out of his house in England's countryside. Abdul Rahman admits he is a member of the 'so-called' Syrian opposition and seeks the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.

At least three Russians fighting alongside Syrian government forces were killed and several more wounded when a shell hit their position in the coastal province of Latakia, a senior pro-government military source said on Tuesday. If confirmed, the deaths which occurred on Monday night would be the first known incidence of Russians being killed in Syria since Moscow began air strikes in support of President Bashar al-Assad on September 30.

RIA news agency quoted the Russian embassy in Damascus as saying it had no information about the reported deaths. Syrian officials could not be reached for comment.

Rami Abdulrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which monitors the conflict, told Reuters that his sources in the area had confirmed the deaths of Russians, but did not have a figure. He said he believed they were not regular Russian forces but volunteers. The pro-government source, who is familiar with military events in Syria, said that at least 20 Russians were at the post in the Nabi Younis area when the shell struck. "It's a 90 percent probability that the shell was fired by the militants", he told Reuters, referring to insurgent groups that the Syrian army, backed by Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iranian fighters, has been battling in the area.

The Kremlin has said there are no Russian troops in combat roles in Syria, though it has said there are trainers and advisers working alongside the Syrian military and also forces guarding Russia's bases in western Syria.

The Kremlin has said it is not undertaking any steps to recruit and deploy volunteer fighters.

Russian Ambassador to Syria Denies Reports of 3 Russian Soldiers Killed in Combat; Reports Remain Unconfirmed

Reuters reported today, citing a 'pro-government-source', that 3 Russian soldiers were killed and several more wounded when a shell hit their position in the coastal province of Latakia.

As Reuters reported:
Rami Abdulrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which monitors the conflict, told Reuters that his sources in the area had confirmed the deaths of Russians, but did not have a figure. He said he believed they were not regular Russian forces but volunteers. The pro-government source, who is familiar with military events in Syria, said that at least 20 Russians were at the post in the Nabi Younis area when the shell struck. "It's a 90 percent probability that the shell was fired by the militants," he told Reuters, referring to insurgent groups that the Syrian army, backed by Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iranian fighters, has been battling in the area.
A Syrian blogger had reports of even more troops killed:

But an independent Russia blogger tracking the wars in Ukraine and Syria said he could not confirm the deaths.

The Russian Embassy in Syria had no confirmation.

TASS reported that the Russian ambassador in Syria said, "We do not have any information about any supposed 'death-of-three-Russians' or 'three-Russian-servicemen' in Syria, which Reuters reported".

"All of this looks like the latest information plant".

The Kremlin would find it hard to confirm deaths in combat as official spokesmen have repeatedly claimed that no Russian troops have been deployed to Syria, only 'advisers'. To be sure, the head of the parliamentary committee for defence admitted that volunteers would likely go to Syria, and one mercenary known for fighting in Ukraine has reported that he has recruited fighters for Syria. The speaker of the Russian parliament then denied that Russia would send ground troops.

Last month, before the start of the Russian bombing campaign, there were reports of 10 Russian soldiers killed which were never confirmed.
