RAF strikes killed 29 civilians in Iraq and Syria in two years, analysis suggests

In the worst incident, 12 civilians were accepted as likely to have been killed in Raqqa, Syria, in 2017 by a US strike, while research points to an RAF drone strike killing at least four members of the same family in Abu Kamal, Syria, in 2016, according to on-the-ground reports. The report's authors, the London-based charity Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), says the analysis showed the RAF had "major questions to answer" about the conduct of the war against Islamic State (IS). The MoD insisted there was "no evidence" of civilian casualties.
