A civilian male died in Raqqah following an “aerial bombardment” of the city, local media said.
There is very limited information at present for this event, with both RBSS and Raqqa Maydan saying on October 11th that the incident had taken place “several days ago.”
Airwars understands that only the US-led Coalition were bombing in Raqqah at the time.
