6 Taliban Militants Killed in Afghan Raids
TEHRAN
(FNA)- Up to six militants were killed and 11 others arrested in
security operations within the last 24 hours, the Afghan Interior
Ministry said Monday morning.
"Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and NATO-led coalition forces
launched cleanup operations in Nangarhar, Laghman, Kunduz, Badakhshan
and Kandahar provinces over the past 24 hours. As a result six armed
Taliban were killed, two wounded and 11 others were arrested by the
ANSF," the ministry said in a press release providing daily operational
updates, Xinhua reported.
They also found and seized weapons, the statement said, without saying
if there were any casualties on the side of security forces.
Figures released by the ministry showed more than 600 militants had
been killed and nearly 270 others detained in a series of military
operations launched since last month across the central Asian country.
The Taliban insurgent group, which has been waging an insurgency of more than one decade, has yet to make comments.
