Summary here.
NATO forces were travelling toward Kandahar City in a convoy when a vehicle was driving nearby. According to a statement released by NATO, the car “failed to heed warnings to stop.”
A soldier then fired a shot that hit and killed a child inside the vehicle.
Coalition forces would not talk about the incident, but said they have no way of knowing when a vehicle is driving near a convoy whether it’s a civilian behind the wheel or a suicide bomber.
But they did admit they must do a better job at warning Afghan civilians who drive to keep their distance from convoys.
The nationality of the soldier and the age of the child are not known. Article
