Government forces in Afghanistan have killed several civilians in two separate attacks, hours after Afghan leaders and Taliban representatives resolved to end non-combatant casualties at a meeting in Qatar.
An air raid at a village in northern Baghlan province killed a mother and her six children, according to provincial council member Shamsulhaq Barakzai.
The attack came shortly after a two-day intra-Afghan dialogue concluded in Qatar’s capital Doha, where the delegates agreed on a road map for peace in war-torn Afghanistan.
In a statement, the Afghan defence ministry acknowledged that seven members of a family were killed in the air attack, which it said was carried out for “the elimination of the enemy”.
