Danish F-16s may have killed civilians in Iraq

Danish warplanes may have killed Iraqi civilians while targeting the Islamic State, the terror group known alternately known as Isis or ISIL, the Defence Command said on Thursday.

“Danish F-16 jets that are engaged in the fight against ISIL on August 30th carried out an attack on approved targets. All procedures for the implementation of an attack in relation to the coalition’s guidelines were followed,” the Defence Command wrote in a statement. The statement said that a routine evaluation of the mission led the Danish military to believe that civilians may have been killed and that an investigation will be initiated.
