At least 33 people have been killed in an air strike that hit a school sheltering displaced people near Islamic State-held Raqqa in Syria, a monitor says, and the US-led coalition is believed to have carried out the attack.

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights activists had counted at least 33 bodies at the site of the strike near the village of al-Mansoura, west of Raqqa, observatory director Rami Abdulrahman told Reuters.

The air strike took place on Monday night, he said.
