Militants have shelled a Russian field hospital in Aleppo. The admissions ward was directly hit by a shell. The medics came here from Khmeimim airbase just a couple of days ago. Two of them have been killed, their colleagues are currently fighting for the life of the third one. Local peaceful residents were also injured, as well as an RT journalist – he got injured during the repeat shelling, Russia24 channel reports.

Later militants in Aleppo opened fire once again, eleven shells exploded near the medical settlement.
“We understand who gave the militants the data and exact coordinates of the admissions ward of the Russian hospital at the moment when it started working. The blood of our servicemen is on the hands of those who ordered this murder, those who gave birth, nurtured and armed these beasts in human disguise, named them opposition to absolve their conscience. Yes, yes, it is on you – gentlemen – patrons of terrorists,” official representative of Russian Defense Ministry Igor Konashenkov emphasized.
The Russian hospital set in Aleppo is capable of serving 1,500 patients per day. It includes a surgery module, X-ray room, specialists on mine and explosive injuries arrived.
