Three or four civilians died in an alleged Coalition airstrike on boats/ferries on the Euphrates River, according to local media.
Both Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS) and Hasaka Rasd blamed the US-led Coalition.
Besides the three named victims, there was reportedly another unidentified civilian victim who was working on the river ferry.
According to RFS, “three people were killed as they tried to flee the city as a result of the targeting of a ferry on Friday afternoon.”
In their August report, Amnesty International published an interview with relatives of a boy that was killed trying to cross the river in a small boat. The family had been informed by witnesses that their relative Mohamed Nour, aged 15, was killed when the boat had been “struck from the air”. The report mentions that Mohamed died along with his friend and other passengers.
