During one mission this week, the Reaper was tasked with carrying out reconnaissance of some compounds that had been used by the Taliban as cover when firing on International Security Assistance Force patrols. During this reconnaissance the crew observed some insurgents in the act of firing on coalition troops. Having identified, in conjunction with other reconnaissance assets, that the compounds were uninhabited, and that, therefore, there was no risk of civilian casualties, and that the insurgents had moved to the cover of a derelict building, the crew fired a Hellfire missile which killed the insurgents.
