Pentagon: Strikes on ISIS "may have hit civilians"

The Pentagon said Tuesday it launched various strikes on ISIS group forces in Syria over the past several days, including hits on some targets that “may have resulted in civilian casualties.”


The incidents took place September 7, September 10 and September 12, according to a statement from CENTCOM. It did not give a number of dead or injured.

But in the September 10 raid “near Ar Raqqah, Syria, a strike against an ISIL (ISIS) target may have resulted in the death of civilians near where the strike occurred,” CENTCOM said.

On September 7, a raid near Dayz Az Zawr, Syria, on an ISIS target struck a non-military vehicle that drove into the target area after the weapon was released from the aircraft.

And September 12, a bombing near Ash Shaddadah, Syria, during a strike against an ISIL target another apparently non-military vehicle drove into the target area after the weapon was released from the aircraft, CENTCOM added.
