A coalition led by the United States admitted that it killed 77 civilians in the air-strikes in Syria's Raqqa in 2017.
The coalition said in a report that the 77 were killed in five air raids from June to October in 2017. It said the tragedies happened despite the necessary protective measures taken by the coalition.
Some organizations had disclosed before the report that these air-strikes killed 24 children and 25 women, which was denied by the coalition.
The Syrian government said the coalition's strikes on extremist groups did not get authorization of the United Nations and accused it of killing large numbers of Syrian civilians.
The United States air force has started raiding the extremist groups in Iraq since August 2014 and expanded the air raid area into Syria in September 2014 when the U.S. established the coalition.
In June 2017, the Syrian Democratic Forces started the operation to liberate Raqqa with the air-strike support from the coalition. http://www.cctvplus.com/news/20180807...
