At least 20 women and children have been killed in an airstrike conducted by US warplanes in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Kunar, local officials say.

The warplanes of the US-led “international coalition” have bombarded Hajin City, about 110 km southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, claiming the lives of eight civilians and causing big damage to houses.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged on Tuesday his country’s involvement in war on Yemen, saying that the American pilots fly over the Yemeni territories.
