China opposes attacks on civilian facilities and the relevant parties should immediately cease fire, return to the track of political and diplomatic resolution, and prevent a larger humanitarian disaster, said a foreign ministry spokesperson on Friday.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks at a routine press conference in Beijing in response to a query regarding a US military airstrike on a civilian bridge in Iran and the relevant reactions from various parties.

The US-Israeli military operations against Iran do not have the authorization of the UN Security Council and violate international law, Mao said.
