Overall, 3,021 civilians died in violence related to the war and 4,507 were wounded. Of the deaths, the UN attributed 77 percent to militant attacks and 14 percent to US-led foreign and Afghan troops. Nine percent of cases were classified as unknown.

“Behind these numbers is real suffering and loss for families in Afghanistan,” she pointed out.
