MOSCOW, October 20. /TASS/. The US-led coalition’s air strikes have killed at least 62 and wounded dozens of civilians in the eastern part of the Deir ez-Zor province in Syria, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Saturday, adding that the death toll may rise considering that dead bodies might remain strewn among the debris of collapsed buildings.

An airstrike targeted the civilian area of Aliyat in the As Susa settlement located 140 kilometers away from the administrative center Deir ez-Zor province where 15 women and children died. Missiles were also fired at the building of Othman Bin Affan Mosque where 37 civilians were reportedly killed and dozens were wounded. That was followed by an attack targeting a mosque in the Bu Badran settlement, which killed ten people.

On Thursday, the coalition’s air forces attacked those settlements controlled by (the Islamic State terrorist group, outlawed in Russia).
