Alwaght- US-led coalition's airstrike has killed at least 23 people, including a child, in a town near the Syria's Raqqa city, ISIS terrorist group's de facto capital.
The strike, allegedly fighting ISIS, targeted the village of al-Heesha about 40 kilometers north of Raqqa, early on Wednesday, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Raqqa, on the northern bank of the Euphrates River, was overrun by the ISIS in March 2013 and was proclaimed the terrorist group’s so-called headquarters the following year.
The attack is not the first US-led airstrike to leave civilian casualties.
In mid October, at least 15 civilians were killed when a US-led attack hit areas in the Daham Village near Suluk in the northeastern countryside of Raqqa.
Since 2014, the United States has been leading a bombing campaign in Syria and neighboring Iraq with the declared objective of hitting ISIS.
