20 civilians have been killed in a US-led coalition airstrike, in the village of Al-Heisha, which is 40 kilometers north of Raqqa. That's according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The UK-based monitor group says casualties include nine women and two children. The coalition has made no comment on the report.

But a spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces dismissed the claims. ISIL-controlled Al-Heisha has been the target of a new offensive launched by the S-D-F in a bid to recapture Raqqa from the jihadist group.
