Air Raids Kill 23 Civilians in Jihadist-Held Syria Town
Twenty-three civilians including nine children were killed in air strikes on a town in eastern Syria held by the Islamic State jihadist group on Thursday, a monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it did not know whether Syrian regime or Russian warplanes carried out the strikes on al-Mayadin in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor.
A U.S.-Russian brokered truce in force since Monday does not include areas where IS is present.
