Syria: Civilian Deaths Reported Amid Heavy Fighting
---------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Airwars reports six civilians were killed and several others
injured in alleged coalition airstrikes in Raqqa, Syria. Airwars also
reported that strikes in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor killed up
to 16 civilians Tuesday, with different sources blaming Russia, Syria
and the U.S.-led coalition for the deaths. Meanwhile, the Syrian city of
Daraa came under heavy bombardment Thursday from forces loyal to
President Bashar al-Assad, who reportedly dropped barrel bombs from
helicopters.
