US-led coalition strike kills 16 civilians near Raqa: monitor

BEIRUT, Nov 9, (Millat/APP/AFP) – A US-led coalition air strike killed
16 civilians, including a child, overnight in a village near the Islamic State group’s Syrian stronghold of Raqa, a monitor said Wednesday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike hit the
IS-held village of Al-Heisha, but a spokeswoman for the US-backed Kurdish-Arab force fighting to capture Raqa denied the report.
