Kabul, July 15 (RHC)-- More than two dozen people have lost their lives in a strike carried out by a U.S. unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in Afghanistan's eastern province of Nangarhar.

Provincial governor spokesman Ahmadzia Abdulzai said on Wednesday that the drone attack struck the Haska Mina district of the province, situated over 150 kilometers (93 miles) east of the capital, Kabul, late on Tuesday, killing at least 28 people. He added that the assault targeted a group of Taliban militants and that those killed in the airstrike were members of the terrorist group.

The United States has been conducting targeted killings through remotely-controlled armed drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia as well as Yemen.
