The Syrian troops, with the support of Russia over the past two days, had been inflicted on air strikes in the school, hospital and residential buildings, as a result of which 12 people were killed, about 40 were injured. This was announced on Twitter by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, without specifying in which part of Syria this happened.
Pompeo added that the regime of Syrian President Bashar al -Assad and the Russian Federation should allow this situation as part of the UN process supported by the UN and stop the fighting in areas where the civilian population lives. The official representative of the State Department Morgan Ortagus has distributed a statement on her Twitter , which states that the United States "decisively condemn" airlines for civilian facilities in Syria.
She noted that as a result of these attacks, in addition to civilians, employees of humanitarian organizations die, civil infrastructure facilities in the province of Idlib and other regions in the north-west of Syria are destroyed. "The latest registered incidents reflect a well -documented scheme of attacks on civilians and infrastructure by Russian and Syrian forces," the Ortagus statement said.
She added that only in the north-west of the country's “Murders Military Machine” the Assada regime took their lives and led to the wounds of thousands of people, most of whom are women and children. “This violence and destruction should be stopped,” the representative of the State Department wrote. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet commented on new charges by the United States.
On November 8, the official representative of the UN Human Rights Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva that over the past six months in the province of Idlib, more than 60 medical institutions have been subjected to attacks, four of them this week. According to him, these objects seemed to be deliberately chosen as goals for forces related to the Syrian government.
Russia has been repeatedly accused of involvement in air strikes in civilian facilities in Syria. In mid -October, The New York Times reported that in May the Russian military bombed four Syrian hospitals in 12 hours from the air. Each of them, according to the World Health Organization, was included in the UN supported UN List of Conflict Settlement, that is, they had to be protected from attacks.
The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said "a serious publication became a victim of manipulations by terrorists and the British special services", and even the papers on which they were printed in the publication are published. "
Damascus and Moscow are invariably argued that the attacks are delivered only to the accurately confirmed goals and positions of the militants. Shortly before the release of the NYT article, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation arranged a press tour for Russian and foreign journalists for "caves of terrorists" in Idlib, where there are not hospitals, but warehouses of weapons and ammunition, prisons, niches for covering tanks, gas masks, food and sanitary beliefs.
In June, the media wrote that Syrian doctors began to hide the whereabouts of their clinics from the UN because of air strikes on them. The UN after a series of air attacks of the Russian-Syrian coalition for the provinces of Idlib and Hama requested detailed information from the Russian Federation about how it uses the coordinates of hospitals in Syria. The UN noted that hospitals are subjected to air from the air since the Syrian forces supported by Russia began an offensive in Idlib in late April.
