30 killed in Afghanistan air strikes
KABUL: U.S.-led coalition air strikes in southern Afghanistan left at least 30 people, including women and children, killed or wounded, an official said Saturday.
The overnight air strikes targeted Taliban militants who had moved into the village of Hyderabad, in Helmand province’s Gereshk district, following a clash with U.S.-led coalition troops, said Dur Ali Shah, the mayor of Gereshk.
Shah could not say how many were wounded or how many were killed in the battle.
