KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- A U.S. airstrike targeted a group of militants near a Taliban training camp in the eastern province of Kunar, military officials said Wednesday.
No casualties were reported, however officials said that the targeted area was not close to civilian homes.
U.S. and international forces have been condemned in Afghanistan for civilian casualties in their pursuit of Taliban and al-Qaeda suspects.
The targeted area was a remote section of the Watapur Valley, a known hotbed of insurgent activity. Military officials said the Taliban use the area as a supply channel to send weapons to fighters throughout the country.
