Kurdish forces in northern Syria killed two Syrian soldiers and wounded another in a missile attack on Wednesday, official state media reported, with the Kurds denying involvement and blaming landmines.

Citing the Syrian defence ministry, SANA news agency reported that the two soldiers were killed and a third "seriously injured" when their position near Tishrin Dam was targeted by the Syrian Democratic Forces with a guided missile.

The SDF is the military of the Kurdish administration which controls swathes of north and northeast Syria, where it runs a de facto autonomous province.

The SDF denied any involvement in the deaths, saying in a statement "we categorically affirm that this information is incorrect" and blaming the incident on "landmine explosions".
