A NATO airstrike has killed at least 8 women and girls and injured at least 7 females in the eastern province of Laghman while they were collecting firewood on Sunday, Afghan officials say.
Villagers from the province brought the bodies to the provincial capital of Mehterlam, the Associated Press reports.
Seven injured females were also brought to the hospital, some as young as 10, according to news agencies.
