'Coalition warplanes kill 9 civilians' in Iraq's Mosul

At least nine civilians were killed by an alleged airstrike of coalition forces in the Iraqi city of Mosul on Saturday, according to an Iraqi military source.

The source, who is one of the Iraqi army’s Mosul operations commander, said the airstrikes took place in Mosul's eastern Al-Shallalat area, which is considered the northern gateway into the city.

• The dead included two women and three children, the source, who spoke anonymously due to security concerns, said.

The coalition warplanes attacked two houses, which did not contain any Daesh members, based on faulty intelligence, he added.
