KABUL, Afghanistan - One Afghan child was killed and one child wounded when insurgents attacked a coalition outpost in the Watahpur district of Kunar province Aug. 8.

"The enemies of Afghanistan continue to kill and wound innocent children through these senseless attacks," said Col. James Dawkins, International Security Assistance Force Joint Command's Combined Joint Operations Center director.

According to ISAF records, insurgents have killed more than 630 civilians and wounded more than 1,430 since the beginning of 2010.
