A young man was reported killed in artillery shelling on Al Mansour Street in Raqqa, according to local media.

Sharqiya Voice blamed the SDF, though Airwars understands that only the Coalition has deployed artillery on Raqqa.

In February 2019, the Coalition assessed this event to be non-credible. Their report noted: “After review of all available strike records it was determined that more likely than not civilian casualties did not occur as a result of a Coalition strike.”
