In Afghanistan, dozens of civilians have been killed and several others injured after US warplanes bombarded the country's east. According to witnesses, the American forces launched two air strikes in Nangarhar province this morning. One of the attacks left at least 30 people dead and injured. The other strike, which hit a funeral procession in a separate area, killed 28 civilians including two children. Today's incident came after another US air strike killed at least 52 civilians, including several women and children, in the city of Sangin in southern Helmand province last month. US-led forces in Afghanistan regularly launch attacks on alleged militant hideouts, but the strikes usually result in civilian casualties.
