Smoke rising from reported Coalition airstrikes on Mosul during the 2016-2017 battle to recapture the city. Hundreds of civilian deaths were later confirmed by the US-led Coalition, though none individually by the UK, France or Belgium (via News of Iraq)
Attached to this civilian harm incident is a provisional reconciliation of the Pentagon's declassified assessment of this civilian harm allegation, based on matching date and locational information.
The declassified documents were obtained by Azmat Khan and the New York Times through Freedom of Information requests and lawsuits filed since March 2017, and are included alongside the corresponding press release published by the Pentagon. Airwars is currently analysing the contents of each file, and will update our own assessments accordingly.
