Airstrikes take place in mostly many countries. Recently, government airstrikes in northern Afghanistan killed 24 civilians which included children and injured six others, as per the witnesses. The two observers who were contacted by a leading daily stated that most of those killed in Saturday's airstrikes were civilians. The Khanabad district in the province where the village is located is Taliban controlled. The Afghan Defense Ministry, however, told that the airstrikes killed 30 Taliban fighters but added a probe was being made into claims that civilians were among those killed.

The airstrikes come as Taliban and government-appointed negotiators were meeting for the first time in Qatar to discuss the future of Afghanistan and ending the decades of war and conflict. Villagers said an initial airstrike targeted a house belonging to a Taliban fighter, whose home doubled as a checkpoint for stopping and frisking people to ensure they were not connected to the government. The explosion set fire to a nearby home, trapping a family inside, said Latif Rahmani, who witnessed the airstrikes and spoke to the media by phone.

Rahmani stated farmers and villagers ran to douse the fire and release trapped family members inside when a second airstrike hit, killing many of them. Rahmani, who said he was working on his house at the time of the airstrike, warned his neighbors against running toward the burning buildings for fear of a second airstrike. A second witness in the area, Kalamuddin, who like many Afghans uses just one name, said the lone Taliban fighter who lived in the house that was initially hit had been killed.
