Russian Defence Ministry refutes accusations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey about strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces on civil objects in Aleppo on June 8 and 9.

"Russian Aerospace Forces have performed no strikes on Aleppo. It is to be reminded that not a single one accusation had facts to prove it. Moreover, all of them have been refuted by the Russian Defence Ministry with the use of objective monitoring data, and the critics have forgotten about them.

Meanwhile, within the last few days the Russian Centre for reconciliation of opposing sides in the Syrian Arab Republic has been registering massive artillery shelling of Aleppo quarters carried out by terrorist formations, which are crossing the Syrian-Turkish border freely. It is strange that the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not pay proper attention to these facts".

On June 9, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Russia of performing strikes on mosques, hospitals, schools and other civil facilities in Syria.
