The ministry said they paid attention to information about the increase in the number of casualties among the civilian population of Afghanistan as a result of the actions of foreign troops.
“This is a matter of deep concern. Once again, it must be noted that “miscalculations” by both government forces and foreign military forces, leading to human tragedies, are occurring more and more often. Such criminal unprofessionalism raises serious questions about the activities of the NATO troops in Afghanistan, ”the ministry said.
The Foreign Ministry believes that the increase in casualties is related to the previously announced US decision to intensify its military activity in Afghanistan.
"This is confirmed by the statistics of the US military command, according to which a record number of bombs were dropped in Afghanistan in the first ten months of the current year," the report said.
The diplomats stressed that staking on military force in solving the Afghan issue carries with it considerable risks, primarily associated with an increase in the number of civilian casualties.
“Unfortunately, these fears come true. We demand to conduct a thorough investigation of the incidents mentioned and to bring those responsible to justice, ”the Foreign Ministry said.
At the end of September, the Foreign Ministry expressed outrage at the fact that the “erroneous” NATO strikes in Afghanistan become almost a daily reality, and demanded that those responsible be brought to justice.
