US coalition 'kills hundreds' of Mosul civilians in one week: Report
Between 250 and 370 civilians killed by US-led air strikes in seven days of fighting, says monitor Airwars

The US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State may have killed hundreds of civilians in the first week of March in support of Iraqi forces storming western Mosul, according to reports by monitoring group Airwars.

Using open-source data and witness reports, the group estimated that between 250 and 370 civilians had  been killed in 11 incidents in the heavily populated western side of the city since 1 March. Out of the 11 incidents, four were backed by two or more sources saying the coalition was responsible for the strikes, it said.

Airwars is an independent monitor that uses all available sources, cross-referencing them with the coalition's own official lists of air strikes.
