In Afghanistan, witnesses are speaking out about the latest deadly US attack on Afghan civilians. Six family members were killed Wednesday when US forces raided a southeastern village.

Relative: “Americans have killed them during the night. The victims have not committed any crime. The Americans killed them inside their room.”

Villager: “American helicopters dropped soldiers off. The soldiers entered the houses and killed anyone they found. They have martyred three members of
one family, including a child. A woman is wounded. And in the second house, a woman, a kid and the kid’s father have been martyred.”

Two of the dead were children no more than ten years old. Witnesses say they bore bullet bounds to the head and chest. The attack came one day after Afghan lawmakers said thirty people, including civilians, were killed in a NATO air strike on Helmand province. The report has not been independently verified.
