"This afternoon during classes at a school in the Hadaiq al Andalus region, a mine and a gas cylinder hit the school classrooms from terrorist-controlled eastern Aleppo," Konashenkov stated.

A nearby humanitarian corridor in Masharqa district was also targeted, resulting in 12 civilian deaths and more than 20 injuries, Konashenkov stated.

"Why does the UNICEF and certain permanent UN Security Council members stubbornly refuse to notice any of this?"
