The U.S.-led airstrikes destroyed two electricity stations in Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Saturday, causing a major blackout, said the Syrian state-run TV.
Two warplanes with the U.S.-led anti-terror coalition struck the electricity stations in the residential Al-Rudwaniyeh district in eastern Aleppo, said the TV.
"Two F-16 war jets violated the Syrian airspace and targeted the infra-structure in the city in a flagrant violation to the international law," the TV said, citing a military source.
The U.S.-led coalition, which has been pounding the Islamic State (IS) positions since last year, has been recently overshadowed by the current Russian airstrikes that have started last week.
Government officials said the Russian airstrikes have achieved "direct results," unlike the U.S.-led airstrikes, which, they say, have done nothing to stem the momentum of the IS terror group.
