TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARBBC:
News of the air strike in Kapisa came first from the province’s deputy governor, Sayed Daud Hashimi.
He said the nine dead civilians included five women and three children and that the raid was carried out by NATO forces. NATO [has] denied any involvement.
But later a U.S. military statement said U.S.-led forces had “dropped two 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) bombs” during an air strike in Kapisa after a NATO base had come under attack.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
