KABUL — NATO mortar rounds killed two Afghan civilians during a clash with insurgents in eastern Afghanistan, while a bomb blast killed a British soldier in the south, officials said Friday.
The fighting in eastern Kunar province Thursday began when insurgents attacked NATO forces. Troops fired mortar rounds in response, killing two civilians and wounding five, NATO said.
Its statement issued late Thursday did not provide further details on the clash or say whether any insurgents were killed in the firefight. NATO said it was investigating.
Separately, four other Afghan civilians died in Kunar when a truck collided with a NATO vehicle, the coalition said.
