"A US aircraft engaged, inadvertently killing five Afghan National Police members and wounding two," said Master Sergeant Bryan Gatewood, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
"An investigation is ongoing to determine additional details of this unfortunate incident."
wo other policemen were wounded in the bungled attack.
The deaths came as the United States attempted to restart stalled talks with president Hamid Karzai's government on the size of a military presence after most international troops leave next year.
Accidental casualties caused by Western air strikes are a major source of friction between Mr Karzai and his international allies."
