17 civilians killed in airstrikes on Syrian market

Seventeen civilians including eight children were killed on Monday, the first day of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, in airstrikes on a market in eastern Syria, a monitor says.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the strikes on Al-Shaara, a town held by the Islamic State group in Deir Ezzor province, are suspected to have been carried out by either Russian or Syrian government planes.
