Press TV - At least 45 people have been killed in the US� latest airstrike in Syria.

According to local sources on Monday, the civilians were killed after US� jets targeted the al-Touse�eiyah district in the city of Raqqah.

The incident comes just one day after the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights�reported that more than 3,000 people, including nearly 1,000 civilians, have been killed during the past month.



The US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.

The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of achieving its declared goal of destroying�Daesh.

The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in two separate letters sent to UN Secretary General Ant�nio Guterres and rotating President of the UN Security Council Amr Abdellatif Aboulatta on August 24, stated that the US-led coalition was perpetrating war crimes and crimes against humanity through aerial bombardment of residential neighborhoods. ��
