Nato says the bombing of a Medicins Sans Frontieres hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz may have been accidentally carried out by US aircraft. Three people are known to have died and about 30 more are missing.
A US military spokesman said an airstrike “may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility." He said the incident is under investigation.
Fighting has raged around the Afghan provincial capital, recaptured by government forces this week from Taliban militants who had seized it in the biggest victory of their nearly 14-year insurgency.
It is clear that the US forces had the exact GPS coordinates of their medical facility.
