Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that a number of civilians and soldiers were killed in a terrorist attack on a civilian passenger bus in the countryside of Raqqa on the Zamla road within Jabal Al-Bishri.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Damascus, the bus was attacked by ISIS militants with machine guns.

The Syrian news agency SANA stated that the initial death toll was 13 soldiers along with an additional 3 wounded.

Later, a Syrian military source revealed that 11 soldiers and two civilians were killed in the terrorist attack that targeted a civilian bus on Raqqa-Homs road.

According to a military source, "At around 6:30 am, a civilian bus was targeted by a terrorist attack on Raqqa-Homs road in Al-Jira area, which led to the death of 11 soldiers and two civilians, while 3 other soldiers were wounded."

In April, Syria sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and to the UN Security Council about the war crimes of the US-led international coalition in the city of Raqqa in 2017. 

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made it clear that the US military operation carried out by the forces of the illegitimate international coalition in Raqqa in the period from June to October 2017, led to the almost complete destruction of the city and thousands of its civilians," the Syrian Foreign Ministry statement indicated.

The US-led coalition's goal was to destroy the city, target civilians

The letter stressed that the goal of the coalition's operation was to destroy infrastructure and public and private property and to target civilians.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry pointed out that it will continue to raise the issue of Raqqa, Al-Baghouz, the Euphrates Dam, and other Syrian regions that were targeted and destroyed by the international coalition.

It added that the number of casualties, particularly in Raqqa, Ayn Al-Arab, and Al-Baghouz proves that the US and its allies have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.
