- 9 years ago
Intense air strikes batter the city of Raqqa, under the control of Islamic State militants.
Activists say Syrian government forces launched a series of strikes on the city, killing at least seven civilians... five of which are said to be from the same family.
This video obtained by Reuters purports to show the aftermath, as stunned residents survey the destruction.... the second deadly assault by the Syrian army here this week.
Two days earlier, a Syrian monitoring says at least 63 people were killed when Syrian war planes struck Raqqa.
The air force has increased its strikes across Syria since the U.S.-led coalition began attacking Islamic State targets in the war-torn country.
