US-led coalition releases video of Mohmand Agency air strikes

The US-led coalition in Afghanistan released a video Thursday of precision strikes targeting what it said were 'anti-Afghan' forces, after Pakistan accused it of killing 11 of its soldiers.

The video footage, taken by an unmanned drone, shows what are described by someone speaking off-camera as "precision-guided munitions" striking a group of seven men described as "anti-Afghan" militants. Islamabad has accused the US-led forces in Afghanistan of making an unprovoked and "cowardly" attack on the checkpost in Pakistan's volatile Mohmand tribal zone, further straining ties between the 'war on terror' allies. In response, the US State Department said it regretted the "reported loss of Pakistani life" but insisted its forces were targeting militants.
