At least 63 people were killed by Syrian regime air strikes on Raqaa, in the north of the country, yesterday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Observatory Director Rami Abdulrahman told AFP: “Among the 63 killed were at least 36 civilians. There were also 20 unidentified victims who could be civilians or jihadists, as well as the disfigured remains of at least seven other people.”
He added that regime aircrafts targeted the industrial city of Raqaa twice, “the first strike came, residents rushed to rescue the wounded, and then the second raid took place”.
Eyewitness footage showed bodies laid out on a street near the apparent bombing site as an ambulances rushes to the scene.
Raqaa is the only city which is entirely under the control of the Islamic State (ISIS). It has not witnessed raids for several months.
