The Russian government has rejected a report by Amnesty International, which accused Russia's military of indiscriminate attacks.
Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said he saw "nothing specific and nothing new" in the report and dismissed the claims as "total lies".
"We examined this report," Mr Konashenkov told a briefing in Moscow.
"Once again there was nothing specific or new that was published, only cliches and fakes that we have already repeatedly exposed."
