Airwars assessment

Seven civilians from the same family were reported killed in the second day of alleged Coalition strikes to the south of Mosul.

In their January 2020 civilian casualty report, 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.
