Major-General Igor Konashenkov, at a briefing of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, said that the drone was in the vicinity of the residential area of Urum-El-Kubra where the convoy was a few minutes before it was attacked, and left the area after about 30 minutes.

In addition, there is a satellite shot of a car with a mortar driving near the column.

A series of provocations

On the evening of September 19th, a joint convoy of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SAKP) and UN humanitarian organizations came under fire in the area of Urum al-Kubra north-west of the city of Aleppo. The convoy consisted of 31 trucks and was carrying aid for 78,000 people. As a result, more than 20 people were killed and, immediately after the raid, the cargo was looted by US-backed militants.

The United States immediately accused Russia of attacking the column, but then immediately said that they have no evidence.

Earlier on Saturday, a Western coalition air force group which included planes from the US, Denmark, Canada, Britain and Australia, attacked the Syrian government forces, killing more than 60 people.

The wounded dragon becomes nervous

These incidents demonstrate the growing incapacity of the United States to solve complex problems by diplomatic means. Decision makers and military-political personnel in Washington are becoming increasingly incompetent. While these failures are particularly evident on the Syrian front, it is expected that the United States will make more and more mistakes and commit more destructive actions in other areas, including towards its own allies.
