The Azizabad airstrike occurred on the night of 21–22 August 2008 during a joint United States–Afghan military operation in the village of Azizabad in Shindand district, Herat Province, Afghanistan. The operation targeted a Taliban commander, and the ensuing engagement included small-arms fire and close air support from a U.S. Air Force AC-130 gunship. A number of structures in the village, including homes, were damaged or destroyed. Estimates of the number of civilians killed remain disputed: a U.S. Central Command investigation led by Brig. Gen. Michael Callan concluded that 55 people were killed, including 33 civilians and 22 people it classified as anti-coalition militants (ACM), while separate investigations by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), the government of Afghanistan and the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) reported that between 78 and 92 civilians, many of them children, had been killed. Among the dead was at least one American security-contracting team allegedly linked to local Taliban figures.
