Late on November 13, two loud explosions were heard over the northern city of Raqqa, which is controlled by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.
The explosions shattered the windows of a number of houses and shops in Raqqa’s city center. However, no civilians were injured.
Opposition sources claimed that the explosions were caused by warplanes of the U.S.-led coalition, which launched missiles while flying over Raqqa city. The missiles allegedly hit Iranian forces’ positions in southern Raqqa.
These claims were not only denied by pro-government sources, but also by the U.S.-led coalition itself. A spokesman for the coalition told Al Monitor journalist Jared Szuba that no airstrikes were carried out in Raqqa on November 13.
A US-led coalition spokesperson tells me @CJTFOIR did not conduct any airstrikes in Raqqa today. @CENTCOM referred a question on the matter to @CJTFOIR #Syria https://t.co/XdUXTFt1X3

After the explosions, shrapnel were found by the locals in different parts of Raqqa city. This further confirms that the explosions were not the result of a missile launch by U.S.-led coalition.
Bilgi
Raqqa’da İran veya Rejim milislerine herhangi bir hava saldırısı yok.
Menbiç’de ise havadan havaya atılan füze parçaları patlama sonrası yerleşim yerlerine düştü. Sonik patlama değil. Sanırım Rejim ve Rusya birşyler çeviriyor. pic.twitter.com/NPgbgEDnU0

Some experts speculated that the explosions were caused by air-to-air missiles fired by Syrian or Russian warplanes at hostile drones heading to government-held areas.
Earlier this year, similar explosions were reported over Turkish-occupied areas in northern Aleppo and the northwestern region of Greater Idlib. This indicates that the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Syrian Arab Air Force may be indeed responsible for the mysterious explosions over Raqqa.
Could have been meteorites. Just watch the movie Greenland to learn, what is incoming.
I’ve learn from movies that everything that comes from space, visits America first.
And that americans save the world in the end! The only rusky is a fat, old, perverted, bilionaire oligarch, who leaves his latest, 20yrs old, wife behind.
Hmmm, is that a movie I missed?
oh yeah, the great Yuri Karpov https://youtu.be/N84nOZa-io8?t=75
Wow that’s a nice scene. Thanks. C’mon baby, lift your big ass for Sasha! But it doesn’t really villify Russians as I perceived from your comment.
Not in this scene. But near the end of the movie, Yuri will board the ark, leaving everyone, except his sons, behind. Even his wife.
Judging by the actual Russian oligarchs origins, Yuri can’t be an ethnic Russian ;)
The only movie you will NOT miss for sure is the your SCUM DIRTY anglo-saxon race DELETION !
Go beg somewherelse stinky gypsy
i smell Israeli,Turks and Americans.
I have read on almasdar that russians launched a couple of Iskanders from Hmeimim.
It was either SAMs or air to air missiles.
Thre is not a single indication on that.
What do you call the two plums?
You have to learn to learn to comment from, whats known. There is too much timewasting crap of Your kind.
Better luck next time Jens…
Then it is something even worse.
We not now.
but anyhow, too much explosives in idlib, raqqa and elsewhere in syria’s north. better move it to tel aviv and blow that place sky high!
The ususal sheep eat it. They even eat barbed wire served for them.
What was the targets??? Comments mention USA, Russia, Turks and Sams. But did the explosions hit anything at all.
Peing in the ocean makes tzunamis here …
What ever it was it is now irrelevant. Trump’s acting defense secretary Miller has just told the military it’s time to draw down forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. “All wars must end,” Miller said. “It’s time to come home.” So that means they will no longer be able to stay in Syria either.
Reports on syrialiveuamaps claim it was coalition aircraft and they used sound bombs, whatever sound bombs are, a new weapon perhaps, or maybe an anti personnel tool?
