- Summary
On September 22, 2017, Afghan Special Forces conducted a raid on a home in Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province, allegedly mistakenly targeting the wrong residence. The forces opened fire on people who had gathered at the home, killing three civilians: a Nangarhar customs official, a driver of former President Hamid Karzai, and another official. It remains unclear whether the victims were guests at the home or family members. The erroneous raid resulted in these civilian casualties due to the misidentification of the target location.
