American-led Coalition forces in Afghanistan deny an airstrike on Sunday killed civilians.
Afghan officials say 27 civilians including a bride and children were killed when US-led air strikes hit a wedding party in the eastern province of Nangarhar bordering Pakistan.
The toll could not be independently verified but the US-led coalition, which claims only militants died, says it is investigating.
This is the second time in days the coalition force faced charges of high civilian casualties in strikes on militants.
On Friday Afghan officials said more than a dozen civilians died in Nuristan province, a claim also rejected by the coalition.
