Syria: Rockets fly as Syrian army continues Raqqa assault
23
22.06.2016
Footage filmed on Tuesday shows Syrian army troops firing rockets and heavy machine guns in the Raqqa province, during a battle with the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
Earlier in the day the Syrian army reportedly fought intense battles against the IS militants, around 60 kilometres to the south-west of the IS' supposed capital.
The city of Raqqa was proclaimed as the 'IS capital' in 2014, since when it has been the centre of most of the group's administrative and control tasks. The assault on the IS stronghold comes as Russia and the US agreed to coordinate their attacks against the militant groups in Syria.
