A large explosion has rocked an area of northern Afghanistan following a NATO airstrike on two stolen fuel tankers.

Afghan officials in the local area said over 90 people had been killed, but the numbers are not yet confirmed.

NATO confirmed to the BBC that the explosion happened in Kunduz province on the main road to Baghlan.

District police chief Basharyar Parwani said that Taliban insurgents tried to drive away two fuel tankers that they hijacked on a highway.

"The fuel tankers got stuck in the river. There were local civilians with them as well. The Taliban were bombed," he said.

Seriously burned people are allegedly crowding a hospital in Kunduz.
