Strikes kill 23 civilians in IS-held area in Syria — report

Air strikes killed at least 23 civilians including 10 children in a village held by the Islamic State group in northeastern Syria Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor says.

“We don’t know for the moment if the US-led international coalition or Iraqi forces carried out the strike” on the village of Al-Qasr in Hasakeh province, the Observatory says.

The Britain-based monitor relies on a network of sources on the ground for its information.
