UN Informed in Two Letters:

DAMASCUS (Dispatches) -- Syria has blasted the U.S. for destroying two bridges over Euphrates River in the eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, where American jets recently killed 82 Syrian soldiers.The attacks "confirm the so-called international coalition’s intent to bomb and destroy Syrian infrastructure and economic and social establishments through repeated aggressive acts,” the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in two letters to the UN chief and the Security Council on Thursday.The ministry said terror groups are the only beneficiaries of the U.S.-led attacks, which come under the pretext of a war against Daesh.The letters reiterated that U.S.-led raids run contrary to international rules and the UN Charter, calling on the world body to condemn this "deliberate” act of aggression.The official SANA news agency reported that the bridges of Al-Asharah and Al-Mayadin in the eastern countryside of the provincial capital city of Dayr al-Zawr were hit by U.S. warplanes on Wednesday.Syria’s Ambassador to the UN Bashar Ja’afari said the bridges had been used by hundreds of thousands of civilians in the area.The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based rights group supporting militants in Syria, said the two bridges are now unusable, a situation which would impede aid deliveries and hamper movement of civilians.Since 2014, the United States and its allies have been leading an aerial bombing campaign in Syria and neighboring Iraq. Instead of helping to rein in Takfiri terrorists, the air raids have killed many civilians, and caused extensive damage to infrastructure.Speaking to reporters after a Thursday UN Security Council meeting on Syria, Ja’afari further dismissed accusations that the Damascus army targets civilians, saying it is the terrorists who have been killing Syrians and hampering relief operations."The Syrian government is not bombing civilians. These people are our own people. We don’t bomb civilians, we don’t kill civilians,”The senior diplomat added, "We don’t bomb humanitarian convoys. We don’t do that. Those who did it are the terrorists.”On September 19, an airstrike targeted a UN aid convoy near Aleppo, killing 20 people. The U.S. claimed Syria and Russia were behind the raids, an allegation they strongly rejected.The comments came after UN Secretary General blamed the government in Damascus for most civilian deaths in Syria since the outbreak of the foreign-sponsored crisis there in early 2011.Syrian government troops on Friday engaged in fierce clashes with foreign-backed militants in Aleppo, as they continued their push to recapture the terrorist-held districts of the key town.Army soldiers managed to fully clear the Handarat refugee camp of militants and recaptured nearby Kindi Hospital north of Aleppo, according to Lebanon-based Al-Manar television.The report said the troops, backed by government airstrikes, continued advancing in Aleppo’s eastern parts. The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also confirmed that the government forces were edging closer to the city.By retaking Handarat, Syrian troops pushed terrorists further away from the Castello Road, a main artery leading to the occupied parts of the city.An official quoted by the Syrian TV said many militants were killed in the battle, adding that experts were removing explosives from the liberated areas.At least 13 civilians were killed on Friday in terrorist rocket attacks targeting several neighborhoods in Aleppo.Meanwhile, Russian media said Moscow has deployed group of Su-24 and Su-34 bombers to the Hmeimim airbase in Syria’s Latakia Province."If need be, the air force group will be (further) built up within two to three days,” Russia’s Izvestia daily quoted an unnamed military official as saying."Su-25 ground attack fighters designated to be sent to Hmeymim have already been selected in their units and their crews are on a stand-by, awaiting orders from their commanders,” the source added.
