7 killed in Great Satan airstrikes in eastern Afghanistan

At least seven people, including a woman, have been killed in two US-led airstrikes in eastern Afghanistan, Press TV reports.

The attacks occurred in Nuristan province, in the mountainous far east of Afghanistan, on Wednesday.

Two other civilians, including a child were also injured.

Earlier on Wednesday, two people died in a US killer drone attack in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Kunar, near the border with Pakistan.

Many civilians have lost their lives in US-led strikes and operations in various parts of Afghanistan since the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, with Afghans becoming increasingly outraged at the seemingly endless number of the deadly assaults.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has repeatedly questioned the legality of the US drone strikes and on numerous occasions has called on Washington to stop the attacks.

The United Nations and several human rights organizations have identified the United States as the world’s number one user of “targeted killings” largely due to its drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The UN also says the US-operated drone strikes pose a growing challenge to the international rule of law.
