Syria crisis: Russia and US military to hold talks on air strikes
The US and Russian military will hold talks "as soon as possible" to avoid clashing in Syria, the countries` top diplomats say.
Russian defence officials say their aircraft carried out about 20 missions against the so-called Islamic State group (IS) on Wednesday.

But the US expressed fears the targets were non-IS opponents of Russia`s ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The US is targeting IS with air strikes in both Syria and Iraq.

Nato said there had been little co-ordination by Russia with US-led forces against IS, also known as Isil. The US says it was informed of Wednesday`s air strikes only an hour before they took place.
