Afghan and US forces have killed more civilians in Afghanistan in the first half of 2019 than insurgents did, UN figures show.
According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, 717 civilians have been killed by US forces, compared to 531 by militants.
The US military has rejected Unama’s findings, saying its own collection of evidence is more accurate and its forces in Afghanistan “always work to avoid harm to civilian non-combatants”.
