Russia behind hundreds of Aleppo 'war crimes' Syrian groups tell UN

Four Syrian organisations have said Russia bears "a high likelihood" of responsibility for 304 attacks in Aleppo that violate international humanitarian law and may constitute war crimes.

In a letter to the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, obtained by The Associated Press late on Thursday, the groups said the attacks resulted in 1,207 civilian deaths, including 380 children.
