Some residents of eastern Afghanistan are angry with the United States after five civilians were killed in what Afghan officials say was a NATO airstrike.
The French news agency quotes local officials Saturday saying three children were among those killed in the overnight strike in Nangarhar province.
NATO called the attack a "precision strike" and said its initial reports indicate there were no civilian casualties.
Civilian deaths have long been a source of friction between the Afghan government and the U.S.-led NATO troops, who are winding down operations as they prepare to withdraw by the end of next year.
In another development Saturday, NATO says a contracted security guard shot and killed a NATO servicemember in southern Afghanistan.
The international coalition says the gunman has been killed, and the incident is under investigation.
