At least nine peaceful Syrians died as a result of the air strike of the International Coalition, led by the United States against the backdrop of negotiations in Astana to resolve the situation in Syria, the SANA agency reports on July 4.

Aircraft strike was inflicted on the village of Kashkash Az-Zizinat, 15 km south of the city of Ash Shaddadi, in the south of Khasaka province. The aim of the attack was the Islamic State terrorist organization*, but the local residents were caused by significant material damage.

Racke coalition blows helped break through the defense of the Islamic State*
