Afghanistan: Luftschläge
(08.08.2018)
In dem Maße, wie die afghanischen Sicherheitskräfte verstärkt auf Luftangriffe zurückgreifen, steigen auch die zivilen Opfer, berichtet die AirForceTimes: „On April 2, at roughly noon, Afghan air force helicopters shot multiple rockets and heavy machine-guns at an open-air religious ceremony in Kunduz province. The attack killed 36 and injured another 71 Afghans, investigators with the United Nations mission to Afghanistan said in a report this summer. […] A July report by the UN mission documented 149 civilian deaths and 204 wounded from air operations in Afghanistan in the first six months of 2018. That’s a 52 percent increase from the same period in 2017, according to the report.“ (jw)
