Airstrikes kill 32 IS militants in Syria

Published

An activist group in Syria claims that at least 32 Islamic State (IS) militants have been killed and 40 more injured during an airstrike on the Syrian city of Raqqa.
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes on Sunday were believed to have been carried out by the US-led coalition.
However, other activists suggested Russian jets had bombed the city and that civilians had been killed.
Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the UK-based observatory which has a network of informants on the ground, said about 15 air strikes had hit IS bases in the north, east and south-east of the city.
He said the casualty figures had come from just one hospital and the final death toll could be higher.
