The bombing took place in the troubled Afghan province of Kunar, a region bordering Pakistan's tribal areas and traditional point of transfer of insurgents crossing the border to fight against international troops.
According to the ISAF said in a press release, an air patrol discovered during the night to several armed insurgents in the district of Ghaziabad, and opened fire on them. "After the initial shooting, a large number of gunmen emerged from a nearby area and were killed by the air patrol," the statement said.
The standoff lasted over four hours, and the ISAF said it had claimed the lives of many more armed insurgents during combat.
