      Yes, specifically NATO operations, not necessarily ones that NATO members took part in.

      A civilian means a non-combatant.

      Also what counts as a civilian killed by NATO as opposed to a civilian killed in a war NATO was involved in but who killed them is unclear or it wasn’t NATO?

      But we do know that the USA has opened fire on civilians before with them as the target and there were no hostile forces around.

      This can just be a provocative question to present NATO negatively.

        NATO is bad, though. It’s the “defensive” alliance for the world’s imperialist powers, similar to how “Israel” “defends itself” with the IDF. It’s used to prevent the people of the global south from directly retaliating against imperialism.
