US-LED coalition air raids have killed around 60 Syrian civilians in Isis-occupied Deir Ezzor province, the official Sana news agency reported yesterday.

Local sources said the strikes hit houses in al-Kamsheh, al-Showeit, al-Doweir and al-Ashara on the Euphrates river south of Deir Ezzor city.

The Operation Inherent Resolve coalition — which includes Britain and other Nato nations — has been accused of frequent massacres of civilians in air strikes, a charge also levelled at the Syrian air force and its Russian allies.
