A hospital where Doctors Without Borders was treating people injured in fighting in the Afghan city of Kunduz came under fire early Saturday, possibly from U.S. aircraft, and at least 19 people were killed, including 12 aid workers.
Dozens of hospital staff and patients were wounded in what the aid group described as a sustained bombing as Afghan soldiers backed by international forces continue to battle Taliban fighters in the northern city.
