In Afghanistan, NATO-led forces killed at least 25 Taliban militants in the north-eastern province of Nuristan. Provincial governor Jamaluddin Badr said, the forces started the ground and air operations yesterday and foreign fighters were among those killed. Meanwhile, at least five Afghan guards were killed today in a NATO air strike along a highway in southern province of Ghazni. A police official said the armed guards were escorting a supply convoy to NATO bases in southern Afghanistan when they were hit. He said NATO helicopters seems to have targeted them by mistake and an investigation is on. NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said it was informed of the incident by Afghan authorities but had no further details.
