Russia accuses US of laying waste to Syria’s infrastructure

RUSSIA’S general staff accused the US yesterday of deliberately destroying Syria’s infrastructure under the pretext of fighting Isis.

Colonel-General Sergei Rudskoi said the US-led Operation Inherent Resolve coalition was trying to “completely destroy critical infrastructure in Syria and complicate postwar reconstruction as much as possible.”

Col-Gen Rudskoi pointed out that coalition jets had destroyed four bridges over the Euphrates river and hit the 800 megawatt Tabqa hydroelectric dam to the west of Raqqa.
