    Russia denies causing any civilian casualties in Syria

    Russia claims that its airstrikes in Syria over the past three months have not hit any civilian targets.

    "The Military Space Forces have never hit civilian targets in Syria," a senior officer told Rossiya 24 television. He added that the pilots are well-qualified and "have never missed their targets, have never hit ... so-called sensitive places: schools, hospitals, mosques,"

    Amnesty International claims that Russian attacks have killed enough civilians to be a potential war crime.
