Kabul, July 26 (RHC)-- The United Nations said a record 2,400 Afghan civilians were killed or wounded in May and June as fighting between government and Taliban forces escalated.
The number of casualties reported in the first half of this year was nearly 50% higher than in 2020. The Afghan government just imposed a nationwide curfew in an effort to curb Taliban advances.
Meanwhile, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan said the U.S. will likely continue its airstrikes even after August 31, when U.S. and NATO forces are expected to complete their withdrawal.
