The US-led coalition fighting Islamic State militants, which includes Australia, has confirmed that another 50 civilians have been killed in strikes in Iraq and Syria.
This raises the total number of civilians it has killed to 735 since the conflict began in 2014.
The coalition said in a statement on Friday that during August, it had assessed 185 reports of civilian casualties and found that the additional 50 deaths occurred in 14 incidents that it deemed were credible.
The coalition, battling to defeat IS militants in Iraq and Syria, says it goes to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties.
The military's official tally is far below those of outside organisations. The monitoring group Airwars says at least 5486 civilians have been killed by coalition airstrikes.
