An unspecified number of civilians were wounded in an alleged Coalition strike on Al Mayadin, according to local sources.
Euphrates Post reported that “international Coalition raids targeted the refineries in the desert of the city [Al Mayadeen] injuring several civilians.” Alamawi also blamed the Coalition, while Omran_mo reported that Coalition jets destroyed a number of IS cars in the area.
In September 2019 the Coalition announced that it had classed this allegation of civilian harm as non-credible. Their monhtly 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.”
