Kabul, January 8 (RHC)-- A U.S. assassination drone strike has killed at least six people in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Nangarhar. Three other people also sustained injuries in the latest drone attack in the province, a police spokesman for Nangarhar said on Thursday. The spokesman further said that the drone strike took place in the provincial Lal Pur district on Wednesday.

A similar strike on Wednesday, reportedly killed at least three people in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Logar. Washington's drone attacks also killed at least seven people in the neighboring province of Khost on Sunday.

The U.S. carries out targeted killings through drone strikes in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Somalia. Washington claims the targets of the drone attacks are al-Qaeda militants, but local officials and witnesses maintain that civilians have been the main victims of the attacks over the past few years.
