Australia admits it ‘may have killed’ civilians in Mosul raid 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseAustralia on Friday acknowledged it may have killed as many as 18 civilians in an air strike on Mosul two years ago, during a massive and ultimately successful campaign to dislodge jihadi fighters. “The coalition assesses that between six and 18 civilians may have been killed,” during strikes on the Al Shafaar neighborhood. A total of 30,008 strikes against IS were carried out between August 2014 and the end of August 2018, with the Mosul campaign being particularly intense. While quicker and posing fewer risks for coalition forces, they allege it put civilians at greater risk.
