سحاب, Mosul, al-Sahab, Nineveh, Iraq

Airwars assessment

A UN report on the protection of civilians in context of Nineveh operations and the retaking of Mosul stated: “In the morning of 11 April, an airstrike reportedly killed a civilian man and wounded seven other civilians, including a woman, in the ISIL-controlled al-Siha neighbourhood of western Mosul. At the time of the incident, the victims were in their house, which lies near an ISIL compound. Both the compound and the house were reportedly hit by the airstrike.”

Airwars researchers have so far identified no known public allegations of civilians killed or injured relating to this incident.

In June 2019 the Coalition announced that it had assessed this allegation of civilian harm to be non-credible, noting “After a review of available information it was assessed that no Coalition strikes were conducted in the geographical area that corresponds to the report of civilian casualties.”

The local time of the incident is unknown.

One named civilian male was reported by both Halab News Network and the Violations Documentation Centre as having been killed by ‘Coalition’ strikes or shelling at Al Qabasin, Syria.

However Turkish forces and their FSA allies may also have been responsible, according to other local reports. TR Diplomacy tweeted a map on the 7th, reporting that the Turkish military were fighting just north of al-Qabasin at the time of this incident.

The US-led alliance later denied responsibility for the event, noting: “After a review of available information it was assessed that no Coalition strikes were conducted in the geographical area of the reported civilian casualties.”

There are no other known details at this time.

Airwars assessment

One adult male civilian died and up to four other civilians (including a father and his two children) were wounded in an alleged Assad regime or Russian artillery bombardment of Kafar Zeita on the afternoon of April 1st, local sources reported.

According to Smart News, Russian forces conducted heavy artillery shelling on the cities of Latamna and Kafar Zeita from their positions in Al Kabaryih and Hilfaya.

However, most other sources including Kafar Zeita TV and Orient News blamed the Syrian regime. Kafar Zeita TV reported that “the city was hit by artillery and rocket fire from the regime’s positions in the Sheikh Hadid and Deir Maharada camps with 15 shells.”

Several sources reported the use of rocket launchers, although Syrian Network for Human Rights referred to the use of missile launchers.

Jorf News gave some context: “For about two months, the regime has continued to bombard the demilitarized zone declared in the countryside of Idlib, Hama, Lattakia and Aleppo under the Sochi Agreement signed between Russia and Turkey, resulting in dozens of civilian casualties and the displacement of thousands.”

The incident occured between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm local time.
