    KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan and international forces conducted operations against the Haqqani network along the border of Khost and Paktiya provinces overnight and throughout the day June 19. Precision airstrikes were used in self defense against a large number of armed insurgents.

    We are aware of conflicting reports of civilian casualties made by local officials and are therefore reviewing the operational details of the engagement.

    Our mission is to protect the population, and we will accept full responsibility if civilians were unintentionally harmed in this intense fight against insurgents.
