It has emerged that six children and two adults have been killed in another attack by US-led forces in Afghanistan.
A military spokesman told a news briefing in the capital, Kabul, that the air and ground attack was carried out at the weekend on a compound used to store weapons in Paktia province, in the southeast of the country.
The six children were found dead later.
The news is likely to be a further embarrassment to the US forces, who killed nine children in a bungled air strike on Saturday.
