The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan released a report on Wednesday claiming that at least 30 civilians were killed and 9 were wounded in a US airstrike in Farah province on May 5.
The report said that the airstrike took place in Bakwa district, and that civilian houses were hit during the airstrike.
The Afghan Ministry of Interior announced on May 5 that 68 illicit narcotic-processing factories were targeted in an airstrike in Bakwa, Farah. The MoI report also claimed that “150 Taliban were killed and 40 were wounded” in these attacks.
But the residents denied this the claim, saying that the victims were civilians.
