US-led airstrikes kill 40 in IS-held area of Syria
At least 40 people, mostly women and children, were killed Saturday by US-led airstrikes on the last pocket held by Islamic State militants in eastern Syria, a war monitor and Syrian state media reported.
The coalition did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It maintains that it does all it can to avoid civilian casualties, and looks into all strikes to determine the credibility of claims in the media.
