In Syria, more airstrikes hit ISIS de facto capital of Raqqa
BEIRUT -- Syrian opposition activists say more airstrikes and artillery shelling have hit the northern city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the Islamic State group.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the city was pounded by warplanes and artillery early in the morning on Monday. The activist group had no immediate word on casualties.
It said the bombardment comes as Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces captured new areas west of Raqqa.
