‘Drone Attack’ Kills 6 in Khost: Provincial Council
[ToloNews] Provincial council members said the attack killed a family of six, including children.

At least six members of a family were killed in a "drone attack" in Khost province
... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name...
, members of the Khost provincial council said Saturday.
According to the provincial council, the six people were killed in a village in Alisher district and the drone targeted a civilian’s home.

Children are also among the victims, the council members claimed.

A front man for US forces in Afghanistan confirmed an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in Khost in Terazai district that "targeted three Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
fighters." The front man added "we are aware of the allegations of civilian casualties" and said they are "working with local authorities to determine the veracity of these claims."
