Kabul, July 21 (RHC)-- At least eight Afghan soldiers have died in a so-called friendly fire incident after two U.S. helicopters attacked a checkpoint in broad daylight on Monday.

General Abdul Raziq, a senior Afghan National Army commander, said: "It seems the attack was carried out mistakenly on army forces, and an investigation is ongoing to find its reason."

While the United States has claimed to have ended its combat mission in Afghanistan, the military carried out 106 airstrikes last month, more than double the number carried out in May.
