U.S.-backed
Syrian militias accused the Syrian government on Monday of bombing their
positions southwest of Raqqa city in recent days and threatened to
retaliate if the attacks continue.
"The
regime's forces...have mounted large-scale attacks using planes,
artillery, and tanks," Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Talal Selo
said in a statement.
A
U.S. warplane shot down a Syrian army jet on Sunday southwest of Raqqa,
with Washington saying the army had dropped bombs near U.S.-backed
forces and Damascus saying the plane had been flying a mission against
Islamic State militants.
There was no immediate comment from the Syrian army.
