American military investigation revealed that an Aug. 22 air strike in Azizabad, Afghanistan, killed five to seven civilians and 30 to 35 Taliban, as opposed to the 90 civilian deaths the United Nations and Afghanistan’s government reported during preliminary investigations, according to The New York Times.
The U.N. and the Afghan government agreed to work with the U.S. military to better determine the number of casualties, the Times reported.
The U.N. upholds its belief that the early morning strike in Afghanistan was the deadliest in U.S. military action since 2001, despite U.S. findings, The Washington Post reported.
