Syria Sends Protest to UN Over US-Led Coalition Strike on Army Facilities
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Syrian Foreign Ministry has sent an official protest to the UN Security Council over the US-led coalition’s airstrikes on Syrian Army facilities in Deir ez-Zor, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported Monday.
“Syria strongly condemns the act of aggression by the US-led coalition that contradicts the UN Charter on goals and principles. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent letters to the UN Secretary General and the UN Security Council,” the agency quoted the ministry as saying.
US-led airstrikes on a Syrian Army barracks show the international coalition is not serious in its fight against terrorism, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said.
“The aggression against a Syrian Army barracks as a barrier to forces deployed for the fight against terrorism once again shows that the US coalition is not serious and insincere in the fight against terrorism,” the ministry said.
According to the Syrian Foreign Ministry, four coalition aircraft launched nine missiles at Syrian Army facilities on Sunday evening, killing at least three and injuring another 13.
Besides, the airstrike destroyed three armored vehicles, four other military vehicles, two machine guns and an ammunition depot.
WW3 UPDATE ! US bomb Syrian army not I$I$ ! Syria slams it as a ‘act of aggression’ !
…Meanwhile, the Syrian government says US warplanes attacked SAA positions for the first time since the conflict began, prompting a swift response from Damascus (or from wherever the government is conducting its business these days).
The strike allegedly took place in Paris mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud’s old fiefdom of Deir ez Zor. As RT reports, “the coalition jets fired nine missiles at an army camp” killing three and wounding a dozen. “Syria strongly condemns the act of aggression by the US-led coalition that contradicts the UN Charter on goals and principles. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent letters to the UN Secretary General and the UN Security Council.”
“This hampers efforts to combat terrorism and proves once again that this coalition lacks seriousness and credibility to effectively fight terrorism,” Syria’s letter to the United Nations says.
Hilariously, Washington says it has no idea what Syria is talking about: “We’ve seen those Syrian reports but we did not conduct any strikes in that part of Deir ez Zor yesterday. So we see no evidence,” coalition spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said. This is the same Steve Warren who said it’s “beyond ridiculous” to suggest that the US is tacitly supporting ISIS. Similarly, Lt. Col. Kristi Beckman, director of public affairs at the Combined Air Operations Center at al-Udeid air base in Qatar, told AP that although he’s “aware” of the incident, he doesn’t “have any indication that the strikes killed Syrian soldiers.”
Of course somebody bombed the SAA position and it damn sure wasn’t the Russians, and since ISIS doesn’t have an air force, there’s really only one explanation as to whose planes were involved. Whether or not the strike was intentional or whether the US thought they were bombing ISIS (which controls the area) is an open question.
