US coalition bombs bridge near Raqqa
Shelling ‘hits’ Syrian infrastructure including bridge and oil wells

US “COALITION” jets bombed Syrian infrastructure over the weekend as Turkish ministers claimed Pentagon support for their invasion.

Syria’s Sana news agency quoted local and media sources saying that coalition air strikes hit the al-Meghle bridge across the Euphrates river near Maadan village, four miles east of the Isis stronghold of Raqqa.

A Combined Joint Task Force press statement on Saturday did not mention the Maadan attack.
