It was a British drone that violently ended Syrian ceasefire

British drones were jointly responsible for the air strike that brought the Syrian ceasefire to a violent end.

US and UK aircraft hit a Syrian government position near the eastern city of Deir el-Zour on Saturday, as well as aid trucks near Aleppo. It’s understood an unmanned RAF Reaper drone was involved.

Russia – the main backer of president Bashar al-Assad – said it had been told by the Syrian government that 62 of its troops had been killed.
As a result, the UN’s humanitarian aid agency has announced that all aid convoys in Syria have been suspended.

The UN said at least 18 trucks in the 31-vehicle convoy were destroyed en route to deliver humanitarian assistance to the hard-to-reach town.

‘The UK was part of the coalition air strike that took place,’ she told broadcasters at the UN’s HQ in New York. ‘We are now part of the investigation and it’s right that this is properly investigated.

‘But, from the UK’s point of view we are there to deal with Daesh, to deal with the terrorist threat that is Daesh.

‘We would never intentionally strike or focus on Syrian forces. But there is an investigation taking place and we will be contributing to that investigation fully.’

The incident led to furious exchanges at the UN between Russia and the US, with both countries’ ambassadors storming out of the emergency session of the Security Council.

Vitali Churkin, the Russian ambassador who had called the meeting, said it was suspicious that the incident had happened just two days before US and Russian forces were due to begin co-ordinated strikes against Isis.

He added that it left a ‘very big question mark’ over the peace deal between the two countries.
