A series of air strikes carried out by the U.S.-led coalition in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) stronghold of Raqqa in eastern Syria has killed at least 10 of the group's members and injured many others.
A statement issued by the coalition said that it conducted 16 air strikes across Raqqa, dismantling key ISIS-controlled structures and transit routes in Syria, reported Fox News.
The air raids were also confirmed by Raqqa-based activists and ISIS. A website affiliated to the terror group corroborated that at least 10 people were killed while dozens were wounded.
Raqqa is the de facto capital of the so-called Islamic caliphate established by ISIS a year ago.
