Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov on Monday revealed true targets of the US, France, and the UK on the Syrian soil.
“The true targets of the strike delivered by the US, the UK and France on April 14 were both facilities in Barzeh and Jaramani and Syrian military facilities, including airfields,” Igor Konashenkov, the defense ministry spokesman said.
According to Konashenkov, a photo of a facility located in the Barzeh area shows that “the destruction caused by the missile strike does not correspond to the scale of destruction from the use of three dozen cruise missiles.” “Moreover, the survey of this and other facilities revealed neither this number of ammunition fragments nor the corresponding number of craters,” he added.
“One can see perfectly well from the satellite photos circulated by the Western media these are ordinary buildings on the surface,” he said. According to Tass news agency.
On April 14, the United States, France and the United Kingdom delivered a massive strike on Syrian targets in bypassing of the United Nations Security Council.
The ministry reported that a total of 103 cruise and air-to-surface missiles had been fired, 71 of them were shot down by Syria’s air defense units.
The United States, the UK and France said the strikes had been a response to an alleged chemical attack in Syria’s Douma.
