Six civilians died and an unspecified number were injured by alleged Coalition airstrikes and artillery shelling by either the US or the SDF, local media said.
Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently blamed Coalition raids and “artillery of Kurdish militias”, as did @Raqqa_SL , @salal_mftah_ , Radioalkul and other sources.
According to Shaam and Sdusyria, “The International Air Force launched air raids on the city of Raqqa, accompanied by a rocket attack targeting the vicinity of Shukri Busan station”.
The media activist, Abu Mu’adh al-Raqqa, told Raqqa Post: “Missiles from coalition aircraft struck Shukri Buzan gas station. There were four missiles targeted the area, which completely destroyed the area and turning it into a ghost town. Firefighters rushed to extinguish the flames. Artillery shells also landed inside the houses of civilians in the surrounding area.”
