阿富汗報道在一小時前與美國聯合部隊發生衝撞，至少有4名阿富汗警察和5名民眾在空軍襲擊中被殺。事故發生在Farah的四部。星期六晚上，在Paktika東部又發生了一事件，NATO官員表示他們的軍力殺死了4名民眾。

On hearing the gunfire, a number of locals have rushed to support the police, foreign troops caught in air strikes during the clashes, killing several policemen and civilians. In a separate incident NATO-led forces admitted killing at least four civilians in the east of the country on Saturday night. A military spokesman said that two mortar shells have landed near a kilometre from their intended target.
