| Syria air strikes: Children died' in US air strike | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A US air strike on Syria last year probably killed two children, officials say - the first admission of civilian casualties in the campaign. | |
| "We regret the unintentional loss of lives," said Lieutenant General James Terry, head of the US-led campaign. | |
| US Central Command said the strike on 4-5 November, near Harim City, targeted the al Qaeda-linked Khorasan Group. | |
| There had been no indications prior to the strikes that children were present, officials said. | |
| The admission followed an investigation into the incident by US military authorities. | |
| There are two other ongoing investigations into air strikes in Iraq, and one more in Syria, according to the Associated Press news agency. |
