Two civilians were initially reported killed and four injured in alleged Coalition strikes at al Tabqah.
According to Madar News “A local source said that likely Coalition warplanes launched raids on Al Mangih district, Dawar al-Ajrawi and the cloth market in the town of Al-Talba, killing two civilians and injuring four others.” The Syrian Mirror carried an almost identical report, while Mepanorama said the deaths occurred in the al Mangih district. The Syrian Observatory also reported Coalition strikes on the city though did not mention civilian casualties.
