Syrian Official Denies Accusations of Airstrikes against Residential Areas in Aleppo

The Syria army denied media reports about alleged airstrikes on civilian targets in Eastern Aleppo that killed dozens of people.

“The Syrian Air Force did not attack any civilian target or infrastructure that could be used by civilians,” Brigadier General Samir Suleiman, the head of the Syrian Army information department, said, adding, “We attack only military targets and large groups of terrorists conducting thorough reconnaissance prior to the strikes.”

Reuters claimed in a report on Friday, citing local militant sources, that airstrikes allegedly delivered by Syrian aircraft in Eastern outskirts of Aleppo killed over 90 people.
