US-led coalition jets in Syria has targeted ISIL-held town in northern Syria, Reuters reported the Daesh-affiliated news agency.
Located west of the terrorists’ de facto capital Raqqah, the town of Tabqa was raided four times in the course of 24 hours, Reuters reported Sunday, confirming reports by the Daesh-affiliated Amaq news agency.
It was not immediately clear how many lives were lost due to the raids but extensive damage could be seen in a video released by the news agency, showing the commercial center of the town.
The raids followed the Saturday launch of a new phase of a campaign to capture Raqqah, by the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by the West.
The militants are aiming to surround Raqqah and cut its routes to Daesh strongholds in Dayr al-Zawr.
