Afghan Civilians Being Killed at Record Rate; Taliban Boosts Killings as US Departs Nation

 More civilians are being killed in Afghanistan than any other time in the country's violent past, according to a new report by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, the Daily Beast website reports today (July 26, 2021).


Nearly 800 people have been killed, and 1,600 wounded in May and June, as the U.S. began to withdraw its troops.


Most were killed by roadside bombs or died in the crossfire between the Taliban and the government-backed military.
