KABUL — Afghan President Hamid Karzai Thursday accused NATO-led international forces of killing seven civilians, most of them children, in an air strike in the southern province of Kandahar.
“Initial reports as stated by the district sub-governor indicate that an air strike carried out by the international forces in Siacha village in Zhari district killed seven persons including six children and injured another two young girls,” a statement from the presidential palace said.
“President Karzai was saddened when he heard the news and designated a team to fully investigate the incident.”
A spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Kabul said he was aware of reports of civilian casualties in Kandahar, adding that a joint assessment team was going to the site.
Civilian deaths have strained relations for years between NATO-led forces and the Afghan government.
The country saw 1,462 civilian deaths in January to June this year - a 15% increase on the same period last year.
