8月10日，美軍對阿富汗南部塔利班分子比較活躍的代赫-焦本地區的一個村落進行轟炸，造成至少3名無辜平民死亡，另有6人受傷，兩所民房被毀，傷亡者中包括婦女、兒童和老人。自阿富汗戰爭以來，已有上百名阿富汗無辜平民在美軍行動中喪生。外電報道如下：Afghan
villagers said Thursday that U.S. warplanes had bombed houses, killing
several civilians and wounding others, including an infant. U.S. forces
suffered their sixth fatality in a week amid rising violence.
Zabul Gov. Ali Khail said U.S.-led coalition forces made "a mistake"
during operations against militants in the southern province and that
civilians had died. He gave no details.
The U.S. military denied civilians were at the scene of the fighting in
Day Chopan district Monday and the district's police chief said Taliban
insurgents had been hiding in the area. American officials said earlier
that 18 suspected Taliban guerrillas and one U.S. service member had been
killed in the clash.
Fatality表示“災禍；（意外）死亡；宿命”，例如：The explosion accident caused several
fatalities.（爆炸事故使數人死亡。）highway fatalities（高速公路死亡事故）；The driver was one of
the fatalities.（司機是意外死亡者之一。）
