An anonymous U.S. official said the gunship had been operating in the area, firing at Taliban targets for close air support to ground troops.

The strike killed 19 staff and patients, including three children.

The U.S.-led coalition has dispatched a Brigadier General to Kunduz to investigate the incident.
