Russia: US Trying to Destroy Syria's Vital Infrastructure, Residential Areas

Spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday that the US is trying to deliberately destroy critical infrastructure in Syria, accusing the US-led collation of bombing residential areas in Northeastern and Eastern Syria.

"The US and coalition bombings of residential neighborhoods and the deliberate destruction of all natural sources of water supply in Raqqa have so far resulted in nothing but many thousands of victims of the population which is being 'liberated'," Konashenkov said.

The Russian military also accused the coalition of "incompetent planning" of the military operation to face ISIL in Raqqa.

Konashenkov noted that such actions show that the leadership of the international coalition led by the US is "in a deadlock" in contrast with the successful offensive of the Syrian government troops in al-Mayadeen.

Relevant reports said earlier this month that the US-led coalition's airstrikes against Raqqa city in Northeastern Syria killed and wounded several other civilians.

The US fighter jets pounded a residential block in al-Kahroba region in Raqqa city, killing at least 15 civilians and wounding a number of others.
