Beirut: Air strikes on the Islamic State group's Syrian bastion of Raqa on Saturday killed 40 civilians, including children, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said on Sunday.

The Britain-based group said it was unclear if the strikes were carried out by regime or Russian planes, adding that eight children were among those killed.
