In July 2018, coalition strikes killed at least three civilians, based on an analysis of three reports US officials considered credible. The coalition determined that 15 other civilian casualty reports were not credible, the report said.
The US-led coalition of more than 70 countries is conducting military operations against the Daesh terrorist group in Syria and Iraq. The coalition's activities in Iraq are conducted in cooperation with Iraqi officials, but those in Syria are not authorized by the government of President Bashar Assad or the United Nations Security Council.
*Daesh, also known as IS/ISIS/ISIL/ Islamic State, is a terrorist organization, banned in Russia.
