Oleg Zhuravlev, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria, said.

Zhuravlev added that combat aviation of the US armed forces was involved in the operation to eliminate the militants who escaped from prison.
"The use of aviation weapons will most likely to lead to the destruction of urban infrastructure and civilian casualties," he said.
