(Previous Incident Code: I631b)

In an incident not previously tracked by Airwars, the Coalition later confirmed the deaths of two civilians in an incident near Tal Afar, Iraq.

Their January 2018 civilian casualty report noted “During a Coalition strike which killed at least two ISIS members and destroyed an ISIS indirect fire weapon system being prepared to fire it was assessed that two civilians were unintentionally killed when they inadvertently crossed into the blast area after the weapons had been fired from Coalition aircraft.”

The Coalition provided Airwars with the location of this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box.

Airwars had monitored mass casualty reports on August 20th (see I631 above), which may relate to this confirmed event.
