Missile Strike on Syrian Hospital Kills 50

At least fifty people--all civilians--lost their lives Wednesday when a pediatric hospital was hit by an airstrike. The death toll could continue to rise, but so far six of the dead are hospital workers. 

John Kerry, the United States Secretary of State, quickly condemned the strike, pointing to Syria as the culprit. Russia and Syria both released similar statements denying any responsibility. 

According to one official with Doctors Without Borders, the munitions used in the attack have been used in the past by the Syrian Government: "We cannot be certain who is responsible for this attack," he said. "What we know is it is the Syrian government that has been usually using these barrel bombs in the past."

The attack ironically came mere hours before the Pentagon announced it had disciplined 16 service members for mistakes that led to an inadvertent airstrike on a doctors without borders medical facility that left 42 dead.
