US-led airstrike hits infrastructure, water supply in Syria's Raqqah

An airstrike by the US-led coalition purportedly fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group has destroyed the water supply system in the northern Syrian city of Raqqah.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Friday that water supply was cut off in the city after the recent bombing of two bridges over the Euphrates River.

The SOHR added that an aircraft, most likely from the US-led coalition, destroyed the bridges on Thursday. 

The aerial bombing damaged main pipeline supplying water to the town, it noted

Meanwhile, Raqqah is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), a group of citizen journalists documenting abuses in the Daesh stronghold, confirmed that the strikes had targeted local infrastructure.

The two bridges were the only ones that connected the northern part with the south of the city.
