Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S107)
Four civilians were reported injured in fresh coalition airstrikes on the outskirts of Raqaa. Images distributed by Raqaa is Being Slaughtered Silently featured an injured boy, among other victims, receiving treatment after the event.
These photographs were subsequently removed, though are archived by Airwars.
In July 2017 the Coalition said it had classed the event as non credible based on available information: “July 25, 2015, near Raqqah, Syria, via Airwars report: After a review of available information and strike video it was assessed that there is insufficient evidence to find that civilians were harmed in this strike.”
Based on reports at the time Airwars continues to assess this event as likely – though has requested additional Coalition clarifications.
