An Afghan military air strike targeting Taliban fighters killed at least 12 people, including children, and wounded 14 in an attack that hit a religious school in the northeastern province of Takhar, two provincial officials said on Thursday. Hadi Jamal, an Afghan military spokesman, confirmed the air strike on Wednesday evening but said it was “not clear if the attack had accidentally killed civilians and children” and that an investigation had been launched. He did not elaborate on what kind of air strike had been carried out. The two provincial officials asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
