It is not the first time that the U.S. has killed innocent people, including women and children, in airstrikes in Afghanistan.

Since United States launched the invasion of Afghanistan, over 31,000 civilian deaths due to war-related violence have been documented; 29,900 civilians have been wounded. Over 111,000 Afghans, including civilians, soldiers and militants, are estimated to have been killed in the conflict. The Cost of the War project estimated that the number who have died through indirect causes related to the war might be as high as 360,000 additional people based on a ratio of indirect to direct deaths in contemporary conflicts. These numbers do not include those who have died in Pakistan.
