Eng. Rahim Amin told Pajhwok Afghan News the air assault took place late on Thursday night in Abjosh area.
The airstrike came amid an ongoing offensive by Afghan security forces in the area, he said. Amin said he could not confirm if foreign forces had conducted the airstrike on their own or it had been requested by Afghan forces.
Acting Governor Niaz Muhammad Amiri said: "Foreign forces wanted to target a group of militants but unfortunately they hit a house inflicting casualties on civilians."
Ahmad Sohail, a resident of Abjosh locality, said the airstrike completely leveled two houses.
However, foreign forces have so far said nothing about the airstrike.
Comment: Civilian casualties keep rising as NATO airstrikes continue. Those guilty of killing Afghan civilians in this particular airstrike, and in all others, will most likely not be prosecuted. NATO war crimes have been ignored by the US military justice system since the invasion, and will continue to be ignored since NATO's puppet Ghani signed the Bilateral Security Agreement which prevents any accountability for NATO's crimes in the country.
