Following are security developments in Afghanistan at 0800 GMT on Saturday.

KAPISA - Four civilians were killed and one more wounded by a NATO air strike in the northeastern Kapisa province overnight, local officials said.

A spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said it was looking into reports civilians had been killed, adding that initial findings show the strike killed two insurgents and wounded three.

KABUL - Afghan and foreign troops killed two insurgents and detained 27 more during joint operations in several parts of the country, the Ministry of Interior said.

There was no way to independently verify this.
