The strikes, which happened in May, were part of a larger pattern of medical facilities targeted by forces supporting Syrian President al-Assad in the country's civil war.

Russian warplanes bombed four hospitals in rebel-held territory in Syria over a period of just 12 hours earlier this year, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

A Russian ground controller gave the exact coordinates of the hospital to the pilot, who reported having it in sight a few minutes later, the newspaper said. Kafr Nabl Surgical Hospital -- just a few miles away -- was bombed multiple times shortly afterwards.
