On August 30, 2017, at least 11 civilians were killed and 16 wounded by American airstrikes in Dasht-e-Barai, Logar province. The airstrikes occurred during a joint Afghan and American military operation to pursue Taliban forces. When the allied forces came under fire from Taliban fighters, they called for air support. The Taliban militants sought cover in nearby civilian homes, and the subsequent airstrikes hit these residences. A delegation dispatched to investigate the incident confirmed that 11 civilians had been killed and 16 wounded in the attack.
