"Today I announce that no [Afghan] military institution under any conditions can call for foreign air support in the country," Karzai said in a speech at the National Military Academy in Kabul.
Emphasising his seriousness, Karzai added that a presidential decree will be issued in this regard in the near future.
At least 10 civilians of eastern Kunar province were reportedly killed in an airstrike conducted during a joint Afghan and Isaf military operation the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The raid, which took place in the Shigal district, was condemned by Karzai, who expressed his condolences to the families and said the Afghan authorities would further investigate.
