Local sources reported “a number of civilians were killed” following airstrikes they believed were likely conducted by US-led Coalition aircraft.
According to sources, the bombs contained white phosphorous – a chemical weapon sometimes proscribed under international law.
Al Mayadeen, a pro-regime news organisation, reported “the attack [allegedly by the Coalition] led to the deaths of 3 civilians and wounding 5 others and significant material damage to public and private property.”
