group regarding the Arclight airstrikes by the US forces on a school in northern Kunduz province.

A front man for the alliance, Capt. William K. Salvin, said "Taliban allegations of US Arclight airstrikes on a school in Kunduz province are false."

Salvin further added "While US forces conducted Arclight airstrikes in Kunduz last night, according to Afghan officials the damage to the school was caused by a kitchen fire."

According to Salvin, a review of the gun camera footage confirms the area where the strikes occurred was clear of civilians at the time.

He also added that the strikes destroyed Taliban fighting positions and emplaced IEDs.

The Taliban front man Zabiullah Mujahid had earlier claimed that the school building was totally destroyed in the Arclight airstrike by the US forces on Friday night.

Mujahid also claimed that several people bit the dust while others were maimed in the Arclight airstrikes.

Some provincial education officials had earlier said that the school compound located in east of the city was damaged along with some homes located in the vicinity of the incident.
