At least 29 people have lost their lives in the latest airstrike by the US forces in the Syrian city of Raqqah.
"At least eight children are among the dead," said the director of so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, on Wednesday.
The observatory noted that the recent airstrikes brought the civilian death toll to at least 325, including 51 children, in the two months since the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces began operations to liberate Raqqah from the Daesh Takfiri group.
The US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate. The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of fulfilling its declared aim of destroying Daesh.
