Russia’s Defense Ministry has accused the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front terror group of carrying out a recent deadly attack on a camp for internally displaced persons in northwestern Syria.
“Judging by the damage shown in photographs and video, the camp may have been shelled either on purpose or by mistake by multiple rocket launchers, which are currently being used very actively in this area by terrorists from al-Nusra,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
Konashenkov also said that no Russian or other warplanes were flying over the Kamuna camp near the Syrian town of Sarmada in Idlib province at the time of the Thursday attack.
“We have attentively studied the information from the air space monitoring data in this area for May 4 and 5, 2016. There were no flights by Russian or any other aircraft over Sarmada,” Konashenkov noted.

Earlier on Friday, the Syrian military dismissed allegations that its jets had carried out the strike.
“There is no truth to reports… about the Syrian air force targeting a camp for the displaced in the Idlib countryside,” the military said in a statement.
Idlib is controlled by the al-Nusra Front and its militant allies. The makeshift camp, located close to Turkey’s border, is home to nearly 2,000 displaced people.
Truce extension
The Russian Defense Ministry also announced that a ceasefire in the northern part of the Syrian province of Latakia and the northwestern city of Aleppo has been extended at Moscow’s initiative for 72 hours, starting from May 7.
“So as not to allow the situation to further worsen, the regime of calm in the northern districts of Latakia province and the city of Aleppo has been extended at Russia’s initiative for 72 hours starting 00:01 a.m. May 7 (2101 GMT on Friday),” the Russian center for the reconciliation of the opposing sides in Syria said .
