	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2017 answer text <p>We have not seen any evidence that UK airstrikes have been responsible for causing civilian casualties in Iraq or Syria since 1 January 2017. After each strike, we perform a detailed battle damage assessment which includes video evidence which is used to assess the success of the mission.</p><p>None of the allegations we have received so far have been found to contain any evidence that RAF airstrikes have caused civilian casualties. While no military operations come without risk, we take all steps necessary to minimise the risk of causing civilian casualties and avoidable damage to civilian infrastructure. All weapons employed by RAF aircraft are delivered in strict accordance with the Law of Armed Conflict and within rigorous Rules of Engagement.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 03/04/2017 14:38:10 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
