UN calls for avoiding escalation of Syrian conflict following US airstrike

The United Nations is not in a position to independently confirm reports about the US airstrike on the Syrian pro-government militias, UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters on Friday.


According to him, the UN secretariat is "aware of media reports that an anti-daesh coalition struck a convoy of the Syrian army and pro-government militias in southern Syria." "We’re not in a position to independently confirm these reports," he added.

At the same time, the UN deputy spokesman said that "it is imperative to avoid an escalation of the conflict, therefore we appeal for restraint to avoid any acts that could deepen the suffering of the Syrian people" "There is no military solution to a conflict," Haq concluded.
