(Previous Incident Code: I078)

The Iraqi Revolution site reported that “NATO planes” [sic] carried out two overnight raids on the town of Ana, which allegedly injured women and children. According to the claims, one of the two strikes targeted a residential neighbourhood.

NINA also reported civilian fatalities from a strike in the area, describing the fatalities as occurring when the coalition accidentally bombed a school sheltering internally displaced peoples, “killing two children and wounding 15 civilians, including 5 women and 7 children.”

In their February 2020 civilian casualty report, the US-led Coalition assessed reports that they were responsible for civilian harm in a first strike as “non-credible”, stating that no Coalition actions were conducted in the geographical area at that time.

In their May 2020 civilian casualty report, the US-led Coalition assessed reports that they were responsible for civilian harm in a second strike as “non-credible”, stating that after a review of all available records it was determined that, more likely than not, civilian casualties did not occur as a result of a Coalition action.

It was unclear which report referred to which specific strike in this event.
