At least 15 civilians were killed on Saturday by US-led airstrikes that targeted areas in the northern province of Raqqa, a monitor group reported.

Four children and a woman were killed by the airstrikes that targeted the town of Haideh in the western countryside of Raqqa, Xinhua quoted the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights as saying.

Tens of civilians were been killed by the airstrikes of the US-led anti-terror coalition.

Last month, a US-led airstrike targeted a school housing displaced people in the town of Mansura in Raqqa countryside, killing 33 people, the Observatory said.
