But a new Amnesty International report released Wednesday concluded Russian forces appear to have repeatedly targeted residential areas in attacks that have struck civilian homes, a busy market, and a mosque.
“Our report issued today demonstrates how Russian Federation has, we believe, committed war crimes in Syria, by directly attacking civilian areas, residential areas, including medical facilities”.
The organization also noted that there were no military targets in the vicinity of the areas attacked in Syria, which suggests according to Amnesty, that the attacks may have violated worldwide law and constitute, in some cases, war crimes. Konashenkov told reporters that Amnesty also failed to investigate the use of cluster munitions by Kiev’s troops in eastern Ukraine.
Russia’s Defence Ministry strongly rejected the allegations, saying the London-based rights group’s report was full of “cliches and lies”.
In addition, Amnesty “obtained and reviewed audiovisual imagery” relating to the attacks and “commissioned advice from weapons experts”.
Amnesty International researched remotely more than 25 attacks between Sep 30 and Nov 29, 2015.
Russian Federation has long insisted its strikes are aimed at Islamic State militants, though Western governments have said the attacks are hitting other targets.
Cluster munitions, which can be delivered from the ground by artillery and rockets or dropped from aircraft, are by nature indiscriminate and often leave unexploded bomblets on the ground.
“Incidentally, some of these vehicles have got into Syria from the U.S. territory, which has already been proved”, the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov noted that during the attacks, a terrorist training camp housing “a large group of experienced instructors” was destroyed in the northwestern Idlib province.
