Syrian Observatory: US-led coalition strike kills 25
BEIRUT - An air strike by the US-led coalition against Islamic State has killed 25 people including children in the militant group's last enclave on the Euphrates in Syria, a war monitor said on Monday.
The air strike took place in the settlement of Dahra Alouni close to al-Shaafa region, and more than half of those killed were women and children, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Asked about the report, the coalition spokesman, Colonel Ryan Dillon said: "We take all allegations seriously and as we always do we will put it into our civilian casualty assessment and we will publish the results of those on a monthly basis."
