The finding of a Pentagon report, parts of which released to the public, announced the US operations in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq, Yemen and Nigeria, killed 23 civilians and wounded approximately 10 others, during 2020.
Most of the civilian casualties were in Afghanistan, where the Pentagon announced it was responsible for 20 deaths, according to the public section of the report. One civilian was killed in Somalia in February 2020 and another in Iraq in March. The document released to the public does not specify when or where the 23rd victim was killed.
Independent observers put the number of civilian fatalities in the US military operations at much higher than the pentagon is willing to admit.
