At least eight people have been killed in a drone strike by US forces in Afghanistan’s Northern Province of Kunduz.

According to Press TV, Ghulam Hazrat Karimi, an army spokesman, said the aerial attack was conducted in the Archi district of the province, which is located 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of the country’s capital, Kabul, the previous night.

Karimi identified the deceased as members of the Taliban militant group, noting that a militant commander, identified as Qari Ali, was among those killed.

Taliban militants, however, have made no comments on the fatal airstrike so far.

On April 30, 15 people were killed after an airstrike targeted a hideout of the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group in the Haska Mina of the eastern Afghan Province of Nangarhar, bordering Pakistan.

The development came a day after 17 people were killed in a drone strike carried out by US-led foreign forces in Dih Bala district of the same province.

Local Afghan officials said that those killed in the aerial attack were Daesh extremists.
