Combat aircraft of the international coalition, to which Belgium is affiliated, systematically pick wrong targets for attack, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told the media on Wednesday.
He was speaking in response to a statement by his Belgian counterpart Steven Vandeput, who claimed that no Belgian planes were in the area of the village of Hassadjek near Aleppo, where an air raid left six people dead.
"It is hard to disagree with Mr. Vandeput in that it is essential to avoid ‘collateral damage’ and rule out any doubts the picked target belongs to the Islamic State (outlawed in Russia - TASS). However, we would like to recall that for the countries of the international coalition, to which Belgium is affiliated, such target setting mistakes are not something impossible and regrettably happen with regularity," Konashenkov said.[tass.com]
