(Previous Incident Code: I185)
Locals claimed five civilians including three children were killed and four or more people injured, after Coalition jets allegedly targeted Al Waldy clothing plant in the Al Shifa neighbourhood of eastern Mosul.
NRN News published a detailed report: “Our correspondent said that the bombing killed five people consisting of a family (three children with a father and mother) who lived in the backyard… Daesh used the factory to make uniforms for military fighters and to sew their black banners.”
In their February 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.
