Up to 116 civilians and as many as 2,581 combatants were killed in US strikes outside Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria from 2009 to 2015, US intelligence officials announced Friday.

The Director of National Intelligence provided fatality estimates for 473 strikes between January 1, 2009 and the end of 2015 "against terrorist targets outside areas of active hostilities," in a much-anticipated report into American plane and drone strikes.
