Summarization
Airwars and The Guardian have conducted an 18-month investigation into UK airstrikes in Iraq and Syria under Operation Shader, finding multiple instances of civilian harm in Mosul. They identified unacknowledged civilian harm from UK strikes and discovered that while the UK claims to have killed more than 4,000 militants in nine years, only one civilian has been acknowledged. The reports focus on the devastating impacts of the war in Iraq, detailing the stories of victims' families affected by strikes. The UK government has not acknowledged the deaths of civilians allegedly caused by British weapons in Mosul. The investigation utilized thousands of newly declassified documents and drone pilot chat logs to cross-reference and identify potential UK strikes. The report also links to an interactive feature that walks through the findings.
