Local and media sources said that airplanes from the US-led alliance, under the pretext of fighting ISIL, carried out on Saturday night a series of airstrikes on areas in the southern countryside of Raqqa province, which resulted in killing 19 civilians in al-Kastrat area (Kasret al-Sheikh Juma’a and Kasret al-Faraj) and the agricultural research center on the southern bank of the Euphrates River.
The sources said that the number of victims is likely to increase because many other civilians sustained serious injuries due to the airstrikes.
