Airstrike in Afghanistan Kills 11 Children Amid Rising Conflicts
In eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border, an airstrike killed 11 Afghan children and an American civilian adviser as U.S. backed forces clash with Taliban militants. The incident comes as Afghanistan begins its spring fighting season with reduced international troop support. The U.S.-led coalition said strikes were requested by international forces and is reviewing civilian casualties. In the same day, six Americans died in attacks, including three U.S. soldiers, and two other U.S. officials died in separate incidents in Zabul province.
