BEIRUT: Warplanes have bombed the Islamic State extremist group’s de facto Syrian capital of Raqqa, killing at least 25 civilians, after the militants drove pro-government forces out of their bastion in Iraq’s northern province. Twin offensives aimed at severing the militants’ supply line from the Turkish border to Raqqa city appear to have largely stalled as the IS mounts a fierce defence using suicide bombers. Six children were among the 25 civilians killed in bombing raids on Raqqa city late on Tuesday.
