Eight major explosions were heard in Raqqa and its suburbs, the group added.
Islamic State is a jihadist group that has taken areas of Iraq and Syria under its control. Currently a United States–led coalition is carrying out airstrikes against the militants' targets to limit the terrorist group ability to advance further.
