KABUL, Afghanistan - Approximately 13 Afghan civilians were wounded after insurgents attacked a coalition force convoy Sept. 5.

The insurgents attacked the convoy with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades, causing an International Security Assistance Force vehicle to catch fire in the Darah-ye Pech District of Kunar province.

Coalition force medics treated the wounded Afghans at a nearby ISAF medical facility and they are now receiving follow-on care at a local Afghan hospital.
