Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least 16 civilians were killed in bombing raids early this morning by the US-led coalition near the Islamic State group’s Syrian bastion Raqqa, a monitor says.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the toll included a woman and her five children, as well as three couples.
“The coalition strikes hit Al-Baruda, a village about 15 kilometers (10 miles) west of Raqqa city,” says Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.
“Most of those killed had fled eastern parts of the province of Homs,” he adds.
