US-led coalition airstrikes on the village of Bou-Badran in Syria's Deir-ez-Zor province on Thursday resulted in the deaths of 17 civilians, Syria's SANA news agency reported, citing local sources.

"17 civilians were killed as a result of coalition airstrikes on the village of Bu-Badran in the east of Deir ez-Zor province," the statement said.

The coalition regularly carries out airstrikes on the city of Hajin and the village of Sha'af in Deir-ez-Zor province, including civilians. Syrian media have repeatedly reported the coalition's use of white phosphorus in airstrikes.

The Syrian government called on the UN to deal with the perpetrators and end the coalition's illegal presence in Syria. The Pentagon representative stated at the time that the US coalition does not disclose information about the type of ammunition used in Syria, but they comply with international regulations on this issue.

Since 2014, the United States and its allies have been conducting a campaign against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. In Syria, the organization operates without the consent of the country's authorities.
