(Previous Incident Code: S1182)
Local sources reported that 14 people were killed and 35 injured after alleged US-led Coalition airstrikes on the city of Raqqa. Two children and two women were reportedly amongst those killed.
In a report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights it was said that the civilians were killed whilst “clashes took place between the Syria Democratic Forces supported by US Special Forces” and “members of the Islamic State organisation”.
According to the report the SDF was attempting to achieve “advancement” in the center of Al-Raqqa city and after the incident took place ISIS control of the area was reduced to about 45% of the city.
Sound and Picture reported that significant material destruction to the city had left the wounded in a highly vulnerable position. It stated that “they are in danger of dying for lack of medical personnel and the destruction of large parts of the only remaining hospital” in Raqqa city.
