In Kunduz too, this place was identified as an hospital with its location given to the US planners sooner.
It doesn't prevent the risk of mistake or colateral damage.
So first you question the marks (which people there themselves claim are there in fact) and then you mention the one in Kunduz was indentified? And one incident in Kunduz, which again was admitted to as being a mistake, is not the same as FIVE in ONE DAY. And many, many more in a campaign of 4 months. What the Russians do is
1) no longer an incident and
2) denied from all levels even when the evidence is all over the place.
Yes, accidents and incidents in war happen. You simply cannot rule out collatoral damage. Hack, the Americans even took out there own on multiple occations in Afghanistan. But what the Russians are now doing is at a totally different level. It is not an isolated incident, it is simply planned, for whatever reason. That's a warcrime and should be investigated. Surely, you should agree that international law should be adhered to, right?
And bombing hospitals by planes is part of the military news dicussed here, unfortunately.
