12th April
US air strikes in Afghanistan's eastern Kunar province overnight killed six civilians, including a woman and two children, and wounded 17 others, media reports said.
"We were asleep and all of a sudden the roof collapsed. I don't remember anything. I got to know here that my father, my mother, my brother and my younger sister were all killed and I am wounded," said a 14 year-old boy quoted by Iran's state news network Press TV.
A US military spokesman in the capital Kabul said he had no information about the strike which came only a week after US-led troops killed four civilians including a newborn baby during an operation in the eastern province of Khost.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force confirmed there were clashes in the area but did not provide any further details.
