In a third event reported in Al Mayadin on June 26th, one female civilian was killed in an alleged Coalition airstrike, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Observatory reported: “The SOHR also observed airstrikes, most likely carried out by the International Coalition warplanes, that targeted one of the headquarters of Suqur Al-Sahara Brigade affiliated with ISIS at 2 am today, causing the death of a woman who resided in a house in the vicinity of their headquarter in Al-Mayadein city in the eastern countryside of Deir El-Zour.”

In August 2019, the Coalition announced that it had assessed this allegation of civilian harm to be non-credible. Their monthly civilian casualty report noted: “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.”
