'Dozens' killed and wounded in Syria airstrike
Activists said "dozens" of people were killed and wounded Tuesday in a Syrian government airstrike on a livestock market in an ISIS stronghold, The Associated Press reported.
Two activist-run monitoring groups, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, said the attack occurred Tuesday in the far eastern village of Khansaa, near the Syria-Iraq border. Khansaa is held by ISIS.
The monitoring groups did not give precise death tolls. The Observatory said "dozens" were killed and wounded. Other activists gave estimates ranging from 30 to 75 people killed.
The U.N. estimates that Syria's four-year conflict has killed over 220,000 people.
