Syria protests to U.N. over coalition air strike in east

The Syrian government has protested to the United Nations about an air strike by the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State which it said killed 26 civilians in Hajin in the eastern Deir al-Zor region, state media reported on Saturday. Asked about reports of air strikes in that area on Friday, the coalition's spokesman said it had "successfully struck and destroyed an ISIS (Islamic State) observation post and staging area in Hajin, void of civilians at the time".
