At least 670 Afghans including 30 Taliban fighters have been killed during the week-long U.S.-led air attacks which began on October 7, according to the leading Pakistani Urdu paper Daily Jang on Monday.
Quoting Taliban Defense Minister Mullah Abidullah, the newspaper said Taliban's radar systems in Kandahar and Jalalabad were seriously damaged but the defense system of the Muslim militia was still functioning.
The Taliban minister said the injured during the attacks were getting treatment in a military hospital in Jalalabad, which had 500 beds and 400 working staff including 160 doctors.
He accused the U.S.-led coalition of targeting civilians rather than military personnel, saying the actual death toll of innocent civilians could be more.
