The US-led airstrikes on the Iraqi northern city of Mosul leaves 60 civilians dead

Alwaght- The US-led airstrikes on the Iraqi northern city of Mosul have left 60 civilians dead, Russian armed forces said on Tuesday.

The attacks claimed to target ISIS terrorists in the city have also left more than 200 civilians inured during the last few days.

“During the past three days more than 60 civilians, including children, became victims of these air strikes. More than 200 people were wounded,” Lieutenant General Sergei Rudskoi, chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces said.

He said Moscow closely follows developments in the Mosul operation and such coalition airstrikes have made no considerable changes on the ground yet.

 “At the same time there are numerous facts of the US-led coalition’s air strikes against residential quarters, schools and other civil infrastructure buildings both in Mosul and in other settlements in the Iraq’s Nineveh governorate,” he added.

"A United States Air Force plane delivered an airstrike on the al-Hajj Yunus School for girls in southern Mosul on October 21. On the following day, air strikes hit living quarters in the settlements of Qaraqosh 20 kilometers east of Mosul and Hazna 15 kilometers east of Mosul," the Russian general added.

The Russian commander further said many ISIS terrorists continue to flee Iraq into Syria and 300 of them have entered the country so far.

There have been reports that the US and Saudi intelligence agencies are plotting to reroute the fleeing ISIS terrorists into Syria to change the course of recent victories by Damascus in its fight against terrorist and militant groups that hit the country in 2011.
