US B-52 bomber carried out strike in Syria`s Idlib, killing over 20 civilians
A US B-52 bomber carried out an attack on January 3 in Syria`s Idlib province without notifying Russia, killing over 20 civilians, the Russian General Staff said.
"We remember how the US aviation carried out an attack near Deir ez-Zor on [Syrian] government forces after which Daesh units launched an offensive on September 29, 2016," Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov said.

"The latest example is a B-52 bomber`s strike on January 3 without notifying Russia on Sarmada populated area in the Idlib province, which is located in the area where hostilities are halted. As a result, 20 civilians were killed," General Gerasimov said.
