The US-led coalition's airstrikes hit a village in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor leaving 40 civilians dead, mostly women and children, local media reported on Saturday.
According to the SANA news agency, the airstrikes hit the al-Buqa village near the town of Hajin, in the southeastern part of the province.
On Thursday, local media reported that the coalition's airstrikes had killed 23 civilians in the village of Bu-Badran in the province of Deir ez-Zor.
A US-led coalition of more than 70 members has been conducting military operations against the Islamic State terrorist group (banned in Russia) in Syria and Iraq since September 2014. The coalition's activities in Syria are authorized neither by the Syrian government, nor by the UN Security Council.
