Russia: int'l coalition airstrikes targeted civilians in Syria many times before

This is not the first time when the American coalition bombs the civilian population of Syria and denies responsibility, Russian Defense Ministry official Igor Konashenkov said.

"I want to emphasize that it is not the first situation when the countries of the international coalition deliver strikes against civilians and fully deny their responsibility," Konashenkov said, referring to the strike in the Aleppo province on October 18, which was delivered by F-16 planes of the Belgian Air Force.

"Weddings, funeral processions, hospitals, police stations, humanitarian convoys, and even Syrian troops fighting Daesh terrorists near Deir ez-Zor get caught in fire by the planes of the countries of the coalition," Interfax quoted the general as saying
