Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S939)
Eight civilians, including between five and seven children, were killed in an alleged Coalition airstrike near Adnan al Maliki School in Raqqa, local sources reported.
Al Hasaka Arabea and Step News Agency alleged that the Coalition was responsible.
Raqqa Ahluna blamed the US-led Coalition for the death of five children. It reported that their names were not known but that they were “the daughter of Abdullah Hassan and three young girls from our neighbours”, adding that “The coalition killed them last night as they stood on the water well and were buried in the school of Adnan al-Maliki”.
In July 2019 the Coalition announced that it had classed this allegation of civilian harm as non-credible, noting: “After a review of all available records it was determined that, more likely than not, civilian casualties did not occur as a result of a Coalition action.”
