Many people have lost their lives in US-led operations in various parts of Afghanistan over the past decade, with Afghans becoming increasingly outraged at the rising number of the deadly assaults.

Washington has repeatedly claimed that its airstrikes target militants, but local sources say civilians are mostly the main victims of the attack.

On August 7, at least 11 children and two Afghan women were killed in an airstrike launched by US-led forces in the eastern province of Kunar.
