Up to 15 civilians died and dozens more were injured in alleged Coalition airstrike on Kdeiran village, local media reported.
In January 2019, the Coalition accepted responsibility for the event, noting: “Coalition aircraft engaged with what was positively identified as an ISIS Headquarters. Coalition munitions destroyed the building. Regrettably, nine civilian bystanders in the streets around the house were unintentionally killed by the effects of the strike.”
In April 2019, the Coalition provided Airwars with the location of this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights said that at least five non-combatants including two children died in the Coalition strikes.
However, Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, Al Ragga Truth and Mohab Nasser were among other sources putting the death tool as high as 15 – with dozens more wounded.
@1’15” in a video published by the IS medi agency Aa’maq, a teary eyed man with cap in hospital says: “the crusader came and bombed a grocery shop, a place selling petrol, an ice cream shop, a fishmonger, a motorbike mechanic shop and a vegetable shop.”
Raqqa Post referred specifically to “US airstrikes”.
Among the victims were also two refugees in al Hamad village.
