Airwars assessment
In a second alleged Coalition event in Mosul for the day, between 7 and 13 civilians reportedly died with 35 or more injured, after the Tamatim food distribution building was hit in the city.
NRN, which published graphic photos, reported the fall of more than 48 civilians in the bombing by the Coalition in Mosul. NRN’s reporter says the morning Coalition strike hit a number of restaurants and commercial markets in the cultural area. He said the target appeared to be an office building used by Daesh, but the bombing was pretty violent. Around six rockets led to the collapse of some buildings and shops nearby. The Iraqi Spring Media Centre placed the death toll lower, at seven.
One of the victims has been named as a young girl, whose father and brother were reportedly injured. Another name published as a young man who killed in the same event.
In the second of their March 2020 civilian casualty reports, 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.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
The victims were named as:
