Up to 11 civilians died in an alleged Coalition airstrike on a school in Raqqah’s Al Nahda neighbourhood, local media reported.
Baladi and Al Hasaka Rasd put the death toll at nine – both blaming the US-led Coalition.
According to RT Arabic, “The Syrian government has accused the international coalition of committing a new massacre against the citizens of Syria and killing 11 civilians, including 3 children, in a raid on a school in the northern city of Raqqa.
The US-led coalition aircraft ‘targeted a school in Al-Nahda neighborhood in the western part of the city of Al-Raqqa, where a number of families were sheltering’ said the state-run SANA news agency, quoting unnamed sources. SANA claimed that the bombing resulted in ‘the deaths of 11 civilians, including the family of a man and his wife and three children, in addition to a number of wounded.’”
