KABUL, 31 August 2021, (TON): Several children were among at least six civilians who were killed in a US drone strike targeting a suspected suicide bomber in Kabul, international media reported. The US has said it is "investigating" reports of civilian deaths.
Witnesses told media that the airstrike launched to destroy a car said to be laden with explosives killed six civilians, including at least three children.
Meanwhile, reporters told that nine members of a family, including six children, were killed in attack in the crowded Afghan capital, where thousands of Afghans are still trying to flee the Taliban.
A resident of the area where the strike took place said neighbours estimated "up to 20 people" might have been killed, according to the report.
Local media also reported that civilians were killed in the strike.
