The United Nations said on Tuesday that it has documented a significant level of civilians killed and wounded in attacks in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover, despite a stark reduction in casualties compared to previous years of war and insurgency, news agency AP reported.
According to a new report by the U.N. mission in Afghanistan, or UNAMA, there were 3,774 civilian casualties, including 1,095 people killed in violence in the country, since the takeover in mid-August 2021 until the end of May.
