Русская версияThe Afghan interior ministry reports that 76 civilians, including
women but mostly children, have been killed in a coalition
airstrike in western Afghanistan.
US-led coalition forces confirmed
that they did indeed carry out an operation in Herat province but
that they had killed 30 Taliban militants. An Afghan army official
corroborated the death toll of 30, but said five of those were
civilians. Independent confirmation of the conflicting stories is
not possible and reflects continuing disagreements between the
Afghan government and the US-led coalition over airstrikes and
resulting civilian casualties.
