Multiple Afghan civilians, including relatives and children, were reportedly killed in Sunday’s US airstrike near the Kabul airport.
US officials said the drone strike wiped out a vehicle carrying multiple suicide bombers that posed an “imminent ISIS-K threat” to the city’s airport.
The exact amount of casualties was not immediately clear, but a relative of those killed told CNN that nine of his family members died in the drone strike.
Six children, ranging in age from 2 to 10, and three adults were among the dead, the relative told the news outlet.
US officials on Sunday night said they were aware of the reports on civilian deaths, but did not confirm any had occurred.
