DAMASCUS, May 12 (Xinhua) -- At least 12 people were killed and 30 others wounded Friday by a fresh U.S.-led airstrike on the northern province of Raqqa, state TV reported.
The airstrike hit the Mishleb neighborhood in Raqqa, the report said.
The airstrike is the latest in a string of similar strikes that claimed the lives of civilians in the process of targeting positions of the Islamic State (IS) group as Raqqa is the de facto capital of IS.
A day earlier, at least 11 people were killed and nine others wounded by a U.S.-led strike on one of the villages in the northern countryside of Raqqa.
On Wednesday, at least 10 civilians were killed by U.S.-led airstrike against the town of Sour in the countryside of the eastern province of Deir al-Zour.
The U.S.-led anti-terror coalition has also been backing the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in their push against the IS positions in Deir al-Zour and Raqqa province.
The coalition previously acknowledged the falling of civilian victims by the airstrikes on IS-held areas in Syria.
