Civil sources said Thursday that the aircrafts of the US-led ‘international coalition’ carried out airstrikes against residential neighborhoods in al-Mayadin city killing 7 civilians, mostly women and children.
The sources added that the number of casualties is likely to increase due to the presence of injured people under the rubble caused by the large destruction.
The report came only a day after the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in two separate letters sent to UN Secretary General António Guterres and rotating President of the UN Security Council Amr Abdellatif Aboulatta, stated that the US-led coalition was perpetrating war crimes and crimes against humanity through aerial bombardment of residential neighborhoods.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry also stressed that the military alliance was using internationally-banned white phosphorus munitions in flagrant violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
