At least 25 foreign and Afghan troops have been injured after an air raid mistakenly targeted them during a joint operation in the northwest of Afghanistan, local police say.

The troops had apparently called in air support on Friday after they became involved in a battle with Taliban fighters while searching for two missing paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division.
