The Russian Defense Ministry has denied media reports its aircraft hit hospitals in Syria, saying the medical facilities mentioned by Western media don’t actually exist.
The Defense Ministry has checked the data presented in recent media reports, which blamed Russian aviation for hitting several hospitals in Syria, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, the ministry spokesman said in a press briefing on Monday.
Konashenkov denied the accusations, which he said were "traditionally made without any proof, without any factual backing.â€
Out of six hospitals that were mentioned in the reports, only one medical facility actually exists in real life, he added.
"We’ve checked this information. It turned out that, a hospital is only present in the village Sarmin,†the spokesman said, adding that there are no hospitals and no medical workers in the other five villages named in media reports.
The Defense Ministry presented a photo of the Sarmin hospital, which was taken on October 31 after the reports emerged.
The image showed the building was intact, disproving claims it had been completely destroyed and 12 people killed.

But what about the baby milk factory? ;)
Hmmmmm, believe the MSM or believe Russia....
Oh well, Russia definitely has more cred, more intelligence, and more morals.
Hell, their leader is a non metrosexual male with operating cojones.
That's irrelevant!

Well they don’t exist now, after the bombing.
Have they bombed any wedding parties yet?
Probably...and some funeral processions were in the mix.
Media liars.
Ah, er, did we say hospital? We meant nursery school.
Where are the Putin Derangement Syndrome types to verify the veracity of Putin bombing invisible hospitals
The information about hospitals being bombed brought to you by Pallywood productions.
Its sad when you believe the Russians over our own govt.
“Russia knows a thing or two about deceptive media, they practically invented it.”
They invented it. NBC, CNN, ABC, NYT etc have perfected it.
They only thing the main stream media lacks is the ability to kill people who interfere with their storyline.
We have Russians that are VERY skilled propagandists. We have Muslims that are VERY skilled propagandists. And we have our media that are VERY skilled propagandists. I can see why this one might be a little tough to sort out.

Yes, and all those “criminals” in gulags never existed either.
