VOA: US-led Coalition Says Its Airstrikes Have Killed 801 in Syria, Iraq
The U.S.-led coalition targeting the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq said Thursday its airstrikes have killed 801 civilians since late 2014.
The figures came in the coalition's latest monthly statement about its investigations into reports of possible civilian casualties resulting from the strikes.
In October, the coalition says it investigated 64 such reports, of which five were deemed credible and resulted in 15 deaths. Another 695 reports were still open.
"We continue to hold ourselves accountable for actions that may have caused unintentional injury or death to civilians," the statement said. "We take all reports of civilian casualties seriously and assess all reports as thoroughly as possible."
