MSF: At Least 14 Killed in Airstrike on Aleppo Hospital

28 April 2016, 09:44 GMT

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Kirby said that the facts around the incident are still being reviewed, but all indications suggest the strike was carried out solely by Syrian forces.

"I’ve seen absolutely no indication that the coalition was in any way involved in this airstrike that we’re talking about on the Doctors Without Borders facility," Kirby told reporters.

Earlier on Thursday, the international humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced that at least 14 people were killed overnight in an airstrike on the al-Quds hospital in Aleppo.

Separately on Thursday, US Secretary of State John Kerry called on Russia to use its influence to encourage Syrian President Bashar Assad to uphold the cessation of hostilities agreement.
