DAMASCUS, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- At least 20 civilians were killed on Friday by U.S.-led airstrikes on an Islamic State (IS)-held area in Syria's eastern province of Deir al-Zour, state news agency SANA reported.

Women and children were among those killed by the airstrikes, which targeted the town of Baghus, one of the last two towns still controlled by the IS in the eastern countryside of Deir al-Zour.

The attack is the latest in a series of air bombardment targeting the last IS-held pocket on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River in eastern Syria. Enditem
