At least 18 people have been killed in the latest US assassination drone strike in eastern Afghanistan.

Obama and his murdering CIA scum responsible for THIS

According to police, the attack which took place on Sunday in the eastern province of Kunar, also injured seven people.

The deadly incident comes after an airstrike carried out by US-led forces left nearly 10 people dead on May 29 in Afghanistan’s southeastern province of Paktika.

The US carries out targeted killings through drone strikes in several Muslim nations such as Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia.

Washington claims the targets of the drone attacks are militants, but local officials and witnesses maintain that civilians have been the main victims of the attacks over the past few years.

Obama, CIA, military drone operators will be held fully accountable

The United Nations says the assassination drone strikes are “targeted killings” that flout international law.

The United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across the country, despite the presence of tens of thousands of US-led troops
