The raid on June 29 was aimed at a Taliban meeting in the Khash Rud district of Nimroz Province, provincial governor Ghulam Dastagir Azad told reporters.
“The operation was carried out on the basis of a tip-off. Twenty-eight Taliban and between six to eight civilians were killed in it,” he said, without giving further details.
The U.S. military confirmed the mission, but said nothing of civilian casualties. It said the operation was aimed at disrupting militant activities in Nimroz.”
