(Previous Incident Code: S1171a)
One civilian was killed in shelling in Raqqa, according to local media.
Only one source – Usama Al Taleb – directly blamed the Coalition, and therefore an SDF mortar/rocket attack cannot be ruled out for causing the man’s death.
As reporting deteriorated within the city the date of death was vaguely reported, falling within a four day range.
