The US-led coalition carried out several airstrikes on the city of Bukamal in Deir Ezzor province, killing three children and a woman, Xinhua reported quoting Syrian national TV.

Bukamal has long been under ISIL control and US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes over the area.

The US coalition has been striking ISIS positions in Syria since September 2014. A year later, Russian air force also started bombing the terror group's positions in Syria.

The Syrian government has repeatedly dismissed US airstrikes as ineffective, while hailing Russian raids as crucial in curbing the momentum of terror groups in the war-torn country, FNA reported.
