NATO-Afghan anti-Taliban operation in Kunduz kills 30 civilians, injures 25

At least 30 civilians were killed and 25 others injured late Wednesday during NATO-Afghan Army airstrikes and land combat operations in Kunduz province, north Afghanistan, official sources told EFE.


Security forces entered on Wednesday night into a village near the provincial capital of Kunduz to arrest a Taliban commander and his forces, an operation that ended in a firefight, local police spokesman, Mahfuzullah Akbari, said.

"Civilians, mainly women, children and elderly, died in clashes and bombing sorties as the Taliban used them as human shields," said Sayed Mahmoud Danish, spokesman for the governor of Kunduz.

During the clashes, Afghan troops concentrated their firepower on the houses where the Taliban had sought cover, the local police officer added.

According to the Afghan ministry of defense, during the fighting three members of the Afghan forces and two United States Special Operations Forces members were also killed.

  1. The same Kunduz, where the Nobel Peace Prize Winner President Obama bombed another Nobel Peace Prize Winner, a hospital operated by Doctors Without Borders. 30 deaths.
