The Syrian foreign ministry on Monday summoned the US and British ambassadors to protest against the killing of five Syrian civilians in a missile attack on a bus in western Iraq.
An "official protest" had been delivered to the two envoys over "this terrible aggression," the official SANA news agency reported.
The ministry also vowed to reserve "the right to claim damages and warned against the danger of targeting innocent civilians," the report added.
On Sunday morning, a US cruise missile struck a bus in Rutba in western Iraq, killing five Syrians and wounding 10 others. The bus was carrying 37 Syrians fleeing Iraq.
