October 7, U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry said that the actions of the Russian and Syrian troops should be investigated as war crimes. In Moscow, in response, called his words propaganda aimed at aggravation of the situation.

As reported on 5 October, independent experts from International Syria support group (ISSG) came to a preliminary conclusion that the attack on the humanitarian convoy of the UN was well prepared hoax. While the UN claimed that the convoy was destroyed by air strikes.

Moscow has rejected accusations of involvement in the attack. The defense Ministry showed evidence of the presence of militants next to the car and stated that the area at the time of the attack was a us drone.

It was reported that humanitarian convoy of the UN and the Syrian red Crescent Society came under fire from the air in the Syrian province of Aleppo on the night of 20 September, 12 people were killed.
