Russia carrying out `war crimes': Turkey

Turkey has warned that bigger and more serious consequences will be inevitable if Russia doesn't immediately end attacks on civilian targets in Syria.

Turkey has accused Russia of carrying out an "obvious war crime" after two schools, a hospital and a Medecins Sans Frontieres medical centre near the Turkish-Syrian border were hit by missiles, killing tens of people.

The carnage occurred as Russian-backed Syrian troops intensified their push toward the rebel stronghold of Aleppo and residents blamed the strikes on Russia.

Turkey warned that bigger and more serious consequences would be inevitable if Russia does not immediately end such attacks, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said late on Monday.
