At least 25 foreign and Afghan troops have been injured after an air raid mistakenly targeted them during a joint operation in the northwest of Afghanistan, local police say.
The troops had apparently called in air support on Friday after they became involved in a battle with Taliban fighters while searching for two missing paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division.
"During the search operation ... a clash took place with Taliban," Abdul Jabar Salehthe, the deputy police chief of the northwestern province of Badghis, told the AFP news agency.
