Russian Military Denies Reports of Alleged Airstrike on Aleppo Hospital

The Russian Defense Ministry denied on Thursday media reports of an alleged Russian airstrike on a hospital in Syria’s Aleppo that killed scores of civilians, Sputnik reported.

Some Western media outlets earlier claimed, citing Doctors Without Borders group, that a Russian combat plane delivered an airstrike on a hospital in Aleppo killing at least 14 patients and staff.

“Russian combat aircraft have not carried out missions in Aleppo Area in the past few days,” ministry’s spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov told reporters.

“According to our data, an aircraft belonging to a country from the so-called “anti-Daesh coalition” was operating in the skies over Aleppo on April 27,” Konashenkov added.
