UN investigation
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterich announced today that a commission of inquiry would be formed to "destroy and damage facilities registered in non-engagement areas and UN-supported facilities" in northern Syria and called on all concerned parties to cooperate with the commission.

"We regret Guterich's decision to form an internal UN investigation committee on Syria, and we believe he made a mistake after being pressured," said the deputy Russian ambassador to the UN Security Council.

The warring parties are provided with information on sites supported by the United Nations and other humanitarian sites such as hospitals and medical centers in an effort to protect them, but the United Nations suspects that this move has made these facilities targets.

Russia and the Syrian regime claim their forces are not targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure, and have questioned the sources used by the United Nations to verify the attacks.
