RAQQA, Syria, July 5 (UPI) -- The Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa, Syria, has been targeted in one of the largest U.S.-led coalition bombings since the start of the airstrikes against the militant Islamist group.
At least 23 Islamic State members were killed in the 16 airstrikes carried out by the coalition on Saturday. Raqqa was declared as the capital of the self-declared Islamic State "caliphate," in 2014.
