Without giving any warning, the US military launched an F-15 fighter jet and dropped about 500 pounds of explosives on the crowd.
After a burst of heavy smoke, several people were still breathing.
Subsequently, the second fighter dropped about 2,000 pounds of explosives, and none of them survived.
The New York Times stated that the actual death toll was at least 64.
The "Bagus" air strike was one of the military operations that caused the most serious civilian casualties in the Syrian war. However, this incident was never known to the public before the New York Times disclosed it.
In almost every step after the incident, the US military tried its best to cover it up.
The number of casualties was underestimated, and the report was postponed, deleted, or kept secret.
In addition, the joint forces led by the US military buried the scene of the incident.
"The New York Times" stated that the above content comes from the newspaper's confidential documents, reports and interviews with the persons involved.
