(MENAFN) Activists said A US-led coalition air strike killed at least 20 civilians in a village north of so-called Islamic State's Syrian stronghold of Raqqa.
In detail, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that six
women and a child were among those who died in the raids on al-Heisha overnight.
The IS-held village has been the target of a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters seeking to capture Raqqa.
A coalition spokesman confirmed that it had conducted strikes in the area.
