Air strikes in Iraq and Syria by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) have killed nearly 1,000 ISIS elements but not a single civilian, the UK Ministry of Defence has claimed.
RAF strikes killed 974 fighters and injured 94 others in Iraq and killed 22 fighters and injured four in Syria between September 2014 and March 2016, according to a freedom of information request into the civilian death toll of attacks targeting ISIS.
The statistics reveal a significant increase in the number of killings since UK defence secretary Michael Fallon announced around 330 militants had been killed by British airstrikes in Iraq in 2014/15.
