Syria urges Security Council to stop US-led strikes on civilian infrastructure
The Syrian government has called on the United Nations Security Council to put an end to airstrikes being carried out by the US-led coalition purportedly fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, saying the aerial assaults are targeting civilian and critical infrastructure in the Arab country.
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in two separate letters addressed to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the rotating president of the Security Council, Francisco Antonio Cortorreal, on Saturday, censured the latest US-led coalition strikes against al-Baghuz al-Tahtani village in the eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, saying the US-led warplanes had targeted dozens of families, who were fleeing from areas controlled by Daesh.

وزارة الخارجية والمغتربين توجه رسالتين إلى أمين عام الأمم المتحدة ورئيس مجلس الأمن بشأن الجريمة التي ارتكبتها يوم أمس طائرات تابعة لما يسمى "التحالف الدولي" بقيادة الولايات المتحدة في قرية الباغوز فوقاني بريف دير الزور الجنوبي الشرقي وأدت إلى استشهاد 20 مدنيا
Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Syria’s official news agency SANA on Friday that 20 people were killed when US-led warplanes bombarded residential buildings in the village.
“This new crime is in line with the criminal acts that the US-led coalition is perpetrating systematically and on a daily basis against Syrian people, and in flagrant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The activities of this alliance are illegal as it has been formed outside the UN framework. Such acts have only contributed to the expansion of extremist terrorist organizations, especially Daesh. Cooperation and coordination between these terrorist groups and this alliance has been documented in numerous letters that Syrian Arab Republic has sent to the Security Council,” the letters pointed out.

الخارجية: الجمهورية العربية السورية تدين بأشد العبارات استمرار اعتداءات "التحالف الدولي" واستهدافه المدنيين السوريين كما اعترفت بيانات التحالف بذلك والدمار الكبير الذي يلحقه بالبنى التحتية والمنشآت الاقتصادية والخدمية والنفطية والغازية والممتلكات العامة والخاصة
The ministry then condemned in the strongest terms the US-led coalition’s continued attacks against Syrian people and the conflict-plagued country’s critical infrastructure, energy facilities and public and private property.
It also called on the UN Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities as regards to the establishment of international peace and security, and put an immediate halt to its crimes against humanity that were being carried out by this “rogue” coalition against Syrian civilians and infrastructure.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry demanded that the Council take necessary measures to set an international mechanism to punish the perpetrators of such crimes.
