Russia to continue Syria operation
Russia says it was pushing on with its support for President Bashar Assad’s forces in Syria, after deflecting blame from Damascus over a suspected chemical attack.
“Russia and its armed forces are continuing the operation to support the anti-terrorist operation to liberate the country, which the Syrian armed forces are conducting,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tells journalists.
Russia earlier defended its ally Damascus against international outcry over the suspected chemical attack yesterday that killed at least 72 civilians, saying a Syrian airstrike hit a “terrorist warehouse.”
