Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: I131)
There were single-source claims that 19 civilians died in a Coalition airstrike on Mosul.
Citing local residents, the National Iraqi News Agency claimed that “international coalition aircraft bombed residential compounds in the Hadbah area east of Mosul, killing 19 civilians including six women and four children, and wounding six others.”
However Airwars’ own sources in Nineveh have contested the claim, suggesting the event did not take place.
In their January 2020 civilian casualty report, the US-led Coalition assessed reports that they were responsible for civilian harm in this strike as “non-credible”, stating that no Coalition actions were conducted in the geographical area at that time.
