At least 23 civilians were killed in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province after rockets fell on a cattle market.

Hundreds of villagers from neighbouring districts had gathered to trade sheep and goats when the rockets fell in the market. A spokesman for Helmand's governor said the several rockets fired by Taliban insurgents landed close to the cattle market, killing many, including children.This is a developing story and will be updated shortly.
