NGO's Photos "Proving" Alleged Russian Strike on Idlib Are 6 Months Old
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Russia’s Defense Ministry said earlier in the day that Russian aviation did not conduct any operations or deliver any airstrikes in the Syrian province of Idlib.

"I cannot confirm those reports," Earnest said. "We are following up on those reports."

Reuters reported citing the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that Russian Aerospace Forces had allegedly carried out airstrikes in Idlib.

Meanwhile, it seems the group has once again spoken out before getting their facts straight as the exact same photo was first used by Al-Jazeera six months ago.
