Airwars assessment
Four children were injured in an alleged Coalition airstrike at Wadi Hajar to the south of Mosul, as a major military offensive to clear Nineveh of Daesh continued.
According to NRN News, jets from the US-led alliance targeted the Daesh-held village which also led to civilian casualties.
Responding to a request for clarification about possible involvement given declared UK strikes near Qayyarah that day, the MoD told Airwars that “after extensive research, we can confirm that there was no UK involvement” in the alleged event.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
