Halt Afghan civilian casualties, U.N says

The government’s main security agency, the National Directorate of Security (NDS), said the operation in Paktia province had targeted a Taliban hideout and among the 11 dead militants were two commanders.
The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said it was gravely concerned at the killings during a search operation and a human rights team was investigating.
“Accountability essential. Harm to civilians must stop,” the agency said in a post on Twitter. Link
