KABUL (AFP) - The US-led coalition in Afghanistan admitted Wednesday, 16th July to killing eight civilians during an air strike against militants, as an Afghan official said nine women and a boy had died.

" A coalition convoy returned fire and called for close air support on the enemy positions. A house was hit; eight civilians were killed, two others injured," the US Army said.
