Activists say that the Syrian
military aircraft has been hit and crashed in the city. This was the main stronghold
of the Islamic State group militants.
The Britain—based Syrian
Observatory for the Human Rights says that the crash occurred in the north—eastern
city of Raqqa after a five airstrikes hit the said area.
The Raqqa—based activist uses the
codename Fourat Alwfaa said that the crash occurred after the Islamic State fighters
fired anti—aircraft weapons at the plane. But as of now, it was unclear if the said
IS shooting had caused the plane crash.
The Alwfaa and Observatory said that
a family was killed after the plane crashed into their home. Syrian officials
rarely comment on such incidents.
The IS (Islamic State group)
rules a proto—state from northern Syria to Iraq. The United States targets them
in Iraq and plans to strike them in Syria.
