Seven civilians were reportedly killed and several others were injured in alleged Coalition airstrikes on New Anah in western Anbar Province, two local sources reported.
Noor al Mustafa Hayder Dawoud, one of the sources, also reported that the house of Ossman Azzawi, the al Sayed household, Hajji Sayf’s household, Sheikh Nayef’s household, Al Maher Radi’s house and Hussein Ali’s house were hit in strikes on neighbouring Al Rayhana, but said there were no civilian casualties because members of ISIL had forced them out of the area.
Only Omar al Halbusi, the other source, alleged that the Coalition was responsible.
