A Nato air strike on a Taliban hideout in Afghanistan has killed nine women and children, local officials say.
"Five children, four women and a man were killed in the raid," said Kunar provincial governor, Sayed Fazulullah Wahidi.
A spokesman for Nato forces said they were investigating the allegations.
Three Taliban commanders, including a notorious al Qaeda-linked militant leader called Shahpoor, were also killed in the raid, district governor Abdul Zahir said.
The air raid was in support of a ground operation by US-led coalition and Afghan forces in a Taliban-controlled valley in the insurgency-plagued region, Mr Zahir said.
"The civilians were killed in the air raid," he said.
It is not clear if the owner of the targeted house was a member of the Taliban or a civilian, but the Taliban were visiting when the home was attacked, Mr Zahir added.
Four other children were wounded in the raid, Mr Wahidi said.
