The report includes evidence suggesting that Russian authorities might have lied to cover civil damages caused by an air strike on a mosque and a hospital.

It also said the attacks had also involved the use of cluster and unguided bombs in civilian areas.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Ministry of Defense is investigating the report’s accuracy.

However, the Russian authorities have alleged their armed forces are attacking only “terrorists” targets and have denied killing civilians.

The UN resolution urges member states to support cease-fire efforts and to end attacks on civilians, and for all parties to allow access for humanitarian aid.

Amnesty International based its claim on telephone conversations with survivors and other witnesses.

“Incidentally, some of these vehicles have got into Syria from the U.S. territory, which has already been proved”, the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said.

“The human suffering in Syria is horrific and the global community can not allow it to continue”.

The report gives more details about six attacks.

It had interviewed by phone or over the internet witnesses to the attacks, and had audio and video evidence, as well as “advice from weapons experts”.

Currently, apart from Russian Federation, the US-led coalition is also performing its own air strikes against ISIS targets in Syria.

“Such attacks may amount to war crimes”, he claimed.

On 29 November, for example, 49 civilians were killed and many others injured when three missiles hit a public market in Ariha, Idlib province, Amnesty said. In a few moments, the main street, packed with people buying and selling fruit and vegetables, turned into a scene of carnage with burning cars and the wounded screaming in terror. “People were buying goods; children were eating”, the activist, Mohammed Qurabi al-Ghazal, told Amnesty.

He saw one woman sitting and crying beside 40 bodies lined up in a row. “To this day, I can not get over it”.

Russia’s bombing of Syria may quantity to a war crime as a result of of the quantity of civilians its strikes have killed, Amnesty International stated on Wednesday, presenting what it stated was proof that the air raids had violated humanitarian regulation. One of the Russian plane’s two pilots was killed.

Based on its analysis, Amnesty concluded that there were “no military targets or fighters in the immediate vicinity” of the areas targeted.

During a meeting with lawmakers, the prime minister also condemned what he said were Russian air force strikes on Sunday on rebel-held Idlib. Please see our terms of service for more information.
