SYRIA-CONFLICT

A string of Syrian regime air strikes on the Islamic State group’s self-proclaimed capital Raqa killed at least 63 people, more than half of them civilians, a monitor said. The air strikes were the deadliest by President Bashar al-Assad’s air force against Raqa since the Sunni extremist IS seized control of the city last year. AFP PHOTO/RMC/STR
