A US-led drone strike has killed at least 3 people in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Logar, reports say.
The latest assassination drone strike was reported in the eastern province on Wednesday.
A similar strike by the US-led terror drones had killed at least seven people in the neighboring province of Khost on Sunday.
The US carries out targeted killings through drone strikes in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Somalia.

Washington claims the targets of the drone attacks are al-Qaeda militants, but local officials and witnesses maintain that civilians have been the main victims of the attacks over the past few years.
The US and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues across the war-torn country, despite the presence of thousands of US-led troops.
