Beirut, Lebanon: A suspected US-led coalition strike in Syria's Raqa province has killed 12 women, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Monday.
The Britain-based monitor said the strike Sunday afternoon hit vehicles carrying farmworkers home from fields in the east of the province.
The monitor said it believed the strike had been carried out by the US-led coalition fighting the ISIS group in Syria and Iraq.
ISIS has lost swathes of the territory it once held in Raqa province, though it still holds Raqa city and some areas to the east.
The US military said in May that coalition strikes in Syria and Iraq had "unintentionally" killed 352 civilians since it launched operations against IS in 2014.
