Doorstop regarding incident in Afghanistan
In the early hours of Thursday, 12 February, soldiers of the Special Operations Task Group were conducting an operation in Oruzgan Province, Afghanistan.
During the conduct of this operation there was an exchange of fire between Australian forces and Taliban insurgents.
Tragically, a number of people have been killed and wounded during this incident. Current reporting indicates that those killed include a suspected insurgent and, sadly, local nationals, including five children killed, and two children and two adults injured.
