UN comments on covert US airstrikes in Syria

UN Deputy Representative Hack on US airstrikes in Syria: responsibility must come

Deputy UN Secretary General Representative Farhan Hack of the United States commented on the Syrian air strikes which happened in 2019 and were hidden by Washington. He told RIA Novosti that the United States must be held accountable.

“We would … emphasize the need for all actions that kill civilians to be held accountable,” Hack said.

Earlier, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky said that the reaction of the American military to the publication of The New York Times about the strike in Syria is cynical.

On November 14, The New York Times reported that the Pentagon withdrew information about an airstrike on Syria in 2019. According to an American newspaper, on March 18, 2019, an American F-15 fighter jet dropped a bomb on a crowd of people near the village of El Baguz, killing 70 people.
