For the first time the NATO airforce bombed the western district of Herat, right where the Italian contingent is located, and killed at least 136 people, all presumed Taliban militants. This bombing provoked violent protests. More protests against westerners also in the oriental part of the country, where several civilians have been killed during a US raid in a village near Jalalabad. Meanwhile in the South Nato launched a new offensive, the operation Silicon, in the effort to bring the strategic district of Sangin under control, although its liberation was announced earlier in April.
