Airstrikes destroy water supply in ISIS-held Raqqa


Airstrikes by the US-led coalition has destroyed the water supply system in the ISIS de facto 'capital' of Raqqa, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Friday.

The water supply was cut off in the city after the recent bombing of two bridges over the Euphrates River, the SOHR reported.

The SOHR added that an aircraft, most likely from the US-led coalition, destroyed the bridges on Thursday.

The same report was corroborated by Raqqah is Being Slaughtered Silently, a civilian journalist group.

The two bridges were the only ones that connected the northern part with the south of the city.
