KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? An Afghan provincial official says a NATO airstrike has killed three civilians in the east of the country. A spokesman for the coalition says initial reports of the strike do not suggest any civilian deaths.
Logar province spokesman Din Mohammad Darwesh says NATO forces were on a foot patrol in Charkh district Monday morning when they came under fire from insurgents. He says they called in an airstrike and the bombardment killed three shopkeepers.
NATO spokesman Maj. Martyn Crighton says initial reports show only one airstrike in Charkh on Monday, with no civilian deaths. He says the strike was called on insurgents who were planting a bomb. Crighton says a number were killed and the body of at least one tested positive for traces of homemade explosives.
