Monday, September 19, 2016 Syria ceasefire unravels as US, Russia trade accusations over deadly strikesA wounded man grimaces in pain a field hospital after an airstrike in the rebel-held town of Dael, in Deraa Governorate, Syria, yesterday. The air raid by the US-led coalition killed dozens of Syrian soldiers and led to a harsh verbal attack on Washington by Damascus and Moscow. The US military says it may have unintentionally struck Syrian troops while carrying out a raid against the Islamic State group in eastern Syria on Saturday. The seven-day ceasefire was supposed to end at midnight last night, according to a Syrian Army statement issued last week. Syrian state TV reported yesterday that dozens of residents had left rebel-held areas in Aleppo and were taken to shelters in the government-controlled part of the city.
