HELMAND, Mar. 26 – Reports from Marjah district say that a US-nato drone aircraft carried out an airstrike on a civilian gathering in 9th Block area on Friday in which tens of civilians including women and children were martyred and many others were wounded including some of our Mujahideen.

The enemy falsely claimed that this was a Taliban gathering and that around 50 were killed and wounded.

We reject this enemy claim with which they seek to hide their savagery and inhumane actions and consider it an unforgivable barbaric crime against our oppressed nation which shall avenged, Allah willing.
