(Previous Incident Code: I196)
An alleged Coalition airstrike on a bank in Faisaliah reportedly killed six students and injured a further eight civilians.
According to NINA, “The international Coalition bombed on Thursday [April 21st] the Um Al- Rabiein bank in the Al Faisaliah area in the north of Mosul, which led to the martyrdom of six students who were in the nearby bank and wounding eight others.”
Local blogger Salam Hamdoon claimed the strike took place at 10 am during peak time when the area was crowded with civilians.
In the first of their March 2020 civilian casualty reports, 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.
