KABUL, Afghanistan - Improvised explosive devices planted by insurgents killed one Afghan civilian and injured another in southern Afghanistan, Aug. 8.
One civilian was killed in an IED strike in the Kandahar district of Kandahar province.
In a separate incident, a child was wounded in an IED blast in the Panjwa'i district of Kandahar province. Coalition forces were able to arrive on the scene and evacuate the child to a coalition hospital for treatment.
"Insurgents continue to display a blatant disregard for the lives of Afghan children," said U.S. Air Force Col. James Dawkins, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "The insurgents are destroying the future of Afghanistan."
According to ISAF records, insurgents have killed more than 630 civilians and wounded more than 1,440 since the beginning of 2010.
