The defence department has confirmed Australian planes were involved in an air strike in Iraq which killed up to 18 civilians. The ADF says two Super Hornets were involved in an airstrike in Mosul against Islamic State fighters, alongside other coalition aircraft.

It says it is not clear whether the civilians were killed as a result of the Australian fighter jets, other aircraft, or attacks on the ground by Islamic State forces.
