Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S573a)
One or two civilians died and up to five others others were injured in an alleged Coalition airstrike on Raqqa, according to local sources.
Smart News Agency reported that “likely” Coalition strikes killed two civilians and injured another five, in addition to killing one member of IS and wounding two more.
Smart reported “a local source said that the planes carried out three raids on Al Fouroussiya Hotel, near the Faculty of Arts, and Al Thakana neighbourhood in the city of Al-Raqqa”.
Albosleh and Mepanorama (both pro-regime sources) produced identical reports which are very similar to Smart.
The Syrian Observatory reported the death of one non-combatant and injury of “others”, though it didn’t say who was responsible.
