Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S772)
Up to three civilian men died as a result of a Coalition airstrike on Mansoura, local media said.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on May 30th, “two men died following injuries they had sustained in shelling by the International Coalition’s warplanes on areas in al-Mansoura town in the western countryside of al-Raqqa”.
In June 2019 the Coalition accepted responsibility for this event. Its monthly civilian casualty report noted “Coalition aircraft conducted an airstrike against a Daesh fighting position. Regrettably, one civilian was unintentionally wounded due to their proximity to the strike.”
The Coalition provided Airwars with the location of this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box.
In May 2020 in its annual civilian harm report to Congress, the Pentagon declared this to have been a US action.
