Russia’s Defense Ministry Says US Responsible for Carpet-Bombing in Raqqa

World

MOSCOW- The United States conducts carpet-bombing of residential areas in Syria’s Raqqa and damages water sources, Russian Defense Ministry Maj Gen Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday.

“Carpet bombing of residential areas accommodated by civilians, which the United States and [the US-led] coalition carry out, along with deliberate destruction of all natural water sources in Raqqa have brought about nothing but several thousand victims among the ‘liberated’ population and vivid examples of that military operation’s faulty planning,” he said, according to Itar Tass.

 Konashenkov noted that the US actions are a sign of “deadlock” in the US-led coalition command and a sharp contrast to the victorious offensive of Syrian government forces near al-Mayadin.

Earlier on Saturday, the town of al-Mayaeen was recaptured from so-called “Islamic State” terrorist group. It had been the biggest Syrian city controlled by IS up to date.
