Syrian government airstrikes on a market, an industrial area and other areas in the Islamic State-controlled city of Raqqa have killed at least 95 people, the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said today.
At least 120 people were wounded in 10 strikes on the northern city, which the militant group has declared as its capital, according to SOHR. Another group, called Raqqa is Being Silently Slaughtered, put the death toll at 115 and posted an appeal on its Facebook page from Raqqa’s national hospital seeking blood donations.
