(MENAFN) The US-led coalition fighting so-called Islamic State (IS) has admitted to causing the deaths of 24 civilians near the Syrian city of Manbij in July.
It said its forces had "more likely than not" killed 30 other civilians elsewhere in Syria in recent months.
Local monitoring groups, however, said at least 56 civilians had died in the Manbij offensive alone.
The coalition estimated 173 civilians have been killed by its air strikes since the beginning of the operation.
