Airwars assessment
Three civilian men were reported killed in a combined ground and air assault on the village of Umm Hajra.
The Hassakah Youth Union blamed the attack jointly on Kurdish ground forces – which it said had mortared the town – as well as Coalition airstrikes: “This is even though the village is free from the presence of Daesh, who withdrew to Mount Abdulaziz after [Kurdish] militia units took control of nearby Al A’lia.“
The incident was first reported on June 3, 2015 at 7:17 pm by Hassakah Youth Union Facebook page.
