The Russian military has dismissed allegations from the US State Department accusing Russia of bombing "hospitals" and "a mobile clinic" in Syria as "figments of the imagination."

"Three days have passed, and now it is absolutely clear that the 'hospitals' and 'mobile clinics' allegedly destroyed in Aleppo by airstrikes exist only in the imagination of US State Department spokesman John Kirby," the Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesman, General Igor Konashenkov, was quoted by Russia Today as saying.

During Wednesday’s State Department briefing, Kirby accused Russia and the Syrian army of bombing "five hospitals and at least one mobile clinic in Syria."

The Russian Defense Ministry has denied attacking hospitals in Syria and questioned the veracity and validity of the US State Department’s sources.
