Afghan officials say that a coalition missile strike has killed at least 23 civilians going to a wedding ceremony in eastern Afghanistan.
The attack occurred in the Nangarhar province and locals said most of those killed were children and women. The US has denied the claims, saying no civilians were in the area during the strike against militants. The attack occurred shortly after President Hamid Karzai ordered an investigation into a missile strike by US helicopters on Friday in which 15 people died.
