U.S. and Arab forces have been carrying out almost daily air
raids against hardline Islamist militant groups in Syria such as
Islamic State since last September, and U.S.-led forces are also
targeting the group in Iraq.
The British-based Observatory for Human Rights said the air raid
on Friday had mistakenly struck civilians in a village on the
eastern banks of the Euphrates River in Aleppo, killing members
of at least six families.
The group said at least 13 people remain missing.
The United States has previously said it takes reports of
civilian casualties from the U.S.-led strikes seriously and says
it has a process to investigate each allegation.
