- Summary
USFOR-A conducted multiple airstrikes on individuals in a wooded area controlled by Daesh/ISKP. Male civilian laborers and provincial government authorities, including Afghan national security forces, had been given advance notice in writing of the laborers' plans to enter Daesh/ISKP territory to conduct work. UNAMA verified the death of 19 civilian males and 11 civilian males sustained injuries as a result of the airstrikes. UNAMA was verifying claims that some of the victims may have been children and that some of the laborers were still missing. The incident occurred despite prior coordination with authorities about the civilian workers' presence in the area.
