Kabul--At least 60 Afghan civilians were killed in air strikes conducted by US-led coalition forces in Southern Afghanistan, said an official on Tuesday.
"The aircraft pounded three villages namely Deh Jauze, Sarosah and Kakrak, 12 km away from Trinkot, the provincial capital of Uruzgan, early on Monday. The strikes lasted from 1:00 am to 4: am," said Abdul Khaliq, a provincial official.
Around 30 people were injured in the air strikes, he added. Meanwhile, the US military rejected these claims as baseless.
