Violence and military operations claimed the lives of more than 16,000 civilians in Iraq last year, a research group said Thursday, down about 1,000 from the year before.

In its annual report, the London-based Iraq Body Count reported that 16,361 Iraqi civilians died in 2016. The northern province of Ninevah was the worst hit, with 7,431 people killed. The capital, Baghdad, was next with 3,714 civilians killed, the research showed.
