Airwars Assessment
In an event previously not tracked by Airwars, the Coalition later confirmed the deaths of two civilians and the injury of another near Marishidah, Syria. This was later declared to be a US-only civilian harm event.
In its July 2019 monthly civilian casualty report, the Coalition noted the following: “Coalition aircraft conducted an airstrike against Daesh terrorists. Regrettably, two civilians were unintentionally killed and another unintentionally wounded due to the proximity of the strike.”
The Coalition provided Airwars with the location of this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box. Airwars researchers could not find any public records of reported civilian harm in the area that day.
On May 6th 2020 in its annual report to Congress, the Pentagon identified this as a US-only civilian harm event.
