Social media news pages and personal accounts shared today, a video recording showing dead people wearing military uniforms, charred corpses and burning military vehicles in a seemingly military area.

The video publishers said, that the victims who were in the recording were Russian troops, and they were killed during a US air strike on a military convoy of Russian and Assad forces as they headed towards al-Omar oilfield in Deir al-Zour countryside.

During the reverse search conducted by Verify-Sy platform on the recording referred to, turned out that it was uploaded on YouTube since 06/09/2015.

It is expected that the dead who appeared during the recording fell during the fighting that took place between the Ukrainian forces and forces described by the government at the time as "separatist" and pro-Russian, eastern Ukraine mid-2014.
