Oops, the Russians are at it again

The BBC has an article about an airstrike in Syria:

The US has said it holds Russia responsible for a deadly attack on an aid convoy near the Syrian city of Aleppo on Monday.
The White House has called it an "enormous humanitarian tragedy".
Meanwhile, American officials have told the BBC that two Russian war planes were responsible for the attack. Russia strongly denies involvement of its own or Syrian planes, and says the incident was caused by fire on the ground and not by an air strike.
"There are no craters and the exterior of the vehicles do not have the kind of damage consistent with blasts caused by bombs dropped from the air," a statement from the defense ministry said. The country's foreign ministry spokeswoman said the US government had "no facts" to support its claim, adding: "We have nothing to do with this situation." Pictures from the scene appear to show a crater, contradicting Russian claims that there are none
Separately, an air strike hit a medical center near Aleppo on Tuesday, killing four medics working for the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM), the group said.
The attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Touman also killed at least nine rebel fighters and was carried out by either Syrian or Russian warplanes, according to the UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The rebels were from Jaish al-Fatah, an Islamist group not officially part of the Western-backed alliance, but one that works alongside the Free Syrian Army, the BBC's James Longman reports from Beirut, Lebanon. One nurse remains in a critical condition and the medical centre was completely destroyed, UOSSM said in a statement, adding that more victims are feared buried under the rubble.
Speaking earlier about the attack on the aid convoy, American officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two Russian Su-24 attack aircraft were in the sky above the convoy at the precise moment it was hit. The strike, they added, was too sophisticated to have been carried out by the Syrian army.
Russia's defense ministry says its drone footage shows a pick-up truck towing a large-caliber mortar belonging to militants accompanying the convoy. White House spokesman Ben Rhodes later said: "There could only have been two entities responsible, either the Syrian regime or the Russian government. In any event, we hold the Russian government responsible for airstrikes in this space."
The UN had earlier said it was "not in a position to determine whether these were in fact air strikes".
Eighteen of thirty lorries were destroyed and about twenty civilians were killed, including a senior official of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent.
The attack prompted the UN to suspend all aid convoys in Syria. The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Peter Maurer, denounced the attack as a "flagrant violation of international humanitarian law" and said it could amount to a war crime.
Meanwhile, diplomats in New York City were trying to save a week-old truce agreement brokered by the US and Russia, which had been declared over by Syrian military hours before the incident.
Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking alongside his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, insisted the cessation of hostilities deal was "not dead", following talks with delegates of the Syria Support Group. They are to meet again on Friday, and the UN Security Council is due to hold a high-level meeting on Syria on Wednesday.

Earlier, Ban Ki-moon, the UN chief (photo, above), launched a stinging attack on Syria's government, saying it has killed the most civilians in the five-year civil war and continues "to barrel-bomb neighborhoods and systematically torture thousands of detainees".
Using unusually blunt language in his final address to the UN General Assembly, Ban also said those who supported the opposing sides in the conflict had "blood on their hands". He called the attack on the aid convoy "savage and apparently deliberate".
Syria's foreign ministry responded by accusing Ban of flouting the UN charter. It said the UN had "failed in its role" to find solutions to international conflicts. Aid deliveries to besieged areas had been a key part of the cessation of hostilities.
