Four civilians from the same family died in an alleged Coalition airstrike on Markada, according to local sources.

Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently was among some sources which specifically blamed “American raids”.

Saladingate reported that the Coalition strike “destroyed the home of a doctor, Abdul Karim In addition to a house belonging to the Mdulul family”.

Confusingly, in its assessment of the allegation the Coalition noted that “After a review of available information and strike video it was assessed that there is insufficient evidence to find that civilians were harmed in this strike.” This suggested that it had indeed conducted a strike at Markada on this date.
