Great Satan US-led strike kills 22 in Afghanistan

At least 22 people have been killed when a US-led assassination drone carried out an attack in Afghanistan’s northeastern province of Kunar.

According to AFP, Mohammad Haroon Yousafzai, a spokesman for the Afghan National Army, said the attack took place in the Manoogi district of the province, located about 200 kilometers east of Kabul, on Saturday.
He identified the victims as Taliban gunmen, noting that four senior militant commanders were among the casualties.
Earlier in the day, a senior Taliban commander was killed when US-led foreign forces conducted an airstrike in Afghanistan’s southern province of Helmand.

Omar Zwak, spokesman for the provincial governor, said the attack took place in the Marjah district of the province.
He identified the slain Taliban commander as Mullah Khan Mohammad, adding that his comrade sustained serious injuries in the airborne assault.
