NATO has confirmed that an air strike was called in on Tuesday morning by a convoy involved in a firefight in Ghazni province but it says initial reports suggest the strike was on insurgents.
The international military coalition did not provide further details.
Ghazni Police Chief Zirawer Zahid says there were no insurgents involved in the conflict and that at least five private security guards were killed in the air strike.
It’s unclear what started the firefight.
