Fire and explosions are seen in what purported to be the Mountain 47 region, countryside south of Hama city, Syria, on Sunday.

Air strikes killed at least 23 civilians including 10 children in a village held by the Islamic State group in northeastern Syria Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said."We don't know for the moment if the US-led international coalition or Iraqi forces carried out the strike" on the village of Al-Qasr in the northeastern province of Hasakeh, the Britain-based monitor said.
