13 civilian deaths amid strikes in Afghanistan


(MENAFN) Foreign forces launched an attack a week ago in Afghanistan to leave thirteen civilians, with ten children among them, dead.

UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) revealed on Monday airstrikes to have been fired at Afghanistan's Kunduz.

In a statement, the UNAMA confirmed "an airstrike conducted by international military forces on the night of Friday to Saturday in Kunduz in support of pro-Government forces on the ground killed 13 civilians and injured three more."

It added "the Mission expressed serious concern that initial fact-finding indicates that 10 of those killed were children, part of the same extended family whom were displaced by fighting elsewhere in the country."
