The UN mission to Afghanistan said Monday that 30 children were among those killed in an Afghan air raid last month that officials said targeted insurgents. It said its findings were based on firsthand accounts, observations by medics, and discussions with government and security officials. On the following day, Nematullah Temori, spokesman for the provincial governor in Kunduz, said the airstrike killed five civilians and 35 insurgents. The Taliban said the airstrike hit an Islamic religious school, killing and wounding more than 100 clerics, religious students and other civilians. Officials at the Defense Ministry and the National Security Council could not be reached for comment on Monday.
