Activists say at least 18 civilians have been killed in air strikes in the Syrian city of Raqqa, the headquarters of so-called Islamic State (IS).
Dozens more people were injured in the raids on Tuesday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
It said it was not able to determine who carried out the strikes, though another group blamed Russian warplanes.
There were further air strikes on Raqqa on Wednesday, but this time reportedly by the US-led coalition against IS.
