Fifty-two pro-regime fighters were killed in overnight strikes in Syria, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Monday.
The regime blamed the US-led coalition fighting ISIS for the strike in the eastern town of al-Hari, which is controlled by pro-regime fighters, but the alliance has denied the charge.
"No member of the US-led coalition carried out strikes near Albu Kamal," Major Josh Jacques, a US Central Command spokesman, told Reuters.
Dozens of "non-Syrian fighters from regime loyalist militias were killed in the night-time raid on al-Hari, on the Syrian-Iraqi border," said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.
The Britain-based monitor said unidentified planes had struck Lebanon's “Hezbollah” and other allied foreign militias around Boukamal.
Syrian regime media reported the attack overnight, citing a military source and accusing the US-led coalition of carrying it out.
It said several people were killed and wounded but did not give a specific number or their nationalities.
