Russia has flown military jets and artillery to Syria, according to a U.S. official, raising concerns among Syrian opposition groups that the move would derail United Nations efforts to end the conflict.
The U.S. is not sure whether the Russian equipment sent to the Syrian air base in Latakia in the past three or four days is meant to support the government of President Bashar al-Assad or fight Islamic State militants, said the official, who asked not to be identified discussing sensitive information.
