A UK-based monitoring group has announced that at least 744 civilians have been killed in US airstrikes in Iraq and Syria last month.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Airwars, a London-based independent group of researchers and journalists, stressed that the number of concurrent airstrikes on Raqqah in Syria and Mosul in Iraq was “devastating.” \u00a0<\/p>\n
The toll is subsequently higher than the 603 civilians the US military claims were killed since it began its anti-terror operations in the region in 2014.<\/p>\n
Airwars Director Chris Woods stressed that the US\u2019 goal of “annihilation” of Daesh terrorists is placing civilians at a high level of risk.<\/p>\n
Airwars noted that between 529 and 744 of the civilians were killed in June, which marks a 50-percent increase from the previous month’s tally.<\/p>\n
