The US-led coalition fighting Daesh militants said on Thursday another 51 civilians had been killed in strikes in Iraq and Syria, raising the total number of civilians it has killed to 786 since 2014, the Daily Mail reported.
The coalition said in a statement that during September, it had assessed 127 reports and the 51 additional deaths occurred in 16 incidents going back as far as February that it deemed were credible.
The military´s official tally is far below those of outside organizations. The monitoring group Airwars says at least 5,637 civilians have been killed by coalition strikes.
Iraqi forces launched an attack to drive Daesh from the last territory it holds in Iraq on Thursday and the Syrian army and its allies said they planned to march on the jihadists' last Syrian stronghold.
