18 killed, 7 wounded in Afghan Air Force raids in Ghor province
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 18 Death Eaters were killed and 7 others were maimed in a series of Arclight airstrikes carried out by the Afghan Air Force in western Ghor province.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the Arclight airstrikes were carried out in Pasaband district targeting several hideouts of the Lion of Islams.

According to the MoD, the Death Eaters killed in the Arclight airstrikes were actively involved in insurgency activities and had committed horrible crimes against the local residents.

The anti-government armed Lion of Islam groups including the Taliban turbans have not commented regarding the report so far.

This comes as at least 7 Death Eaters were killed and 5 others were maimed in Arclight airstrike in the same district of Ghor, MoD said Saturday.

The Afghan cops have stepped up counter-terrorism operations as the terror groups attempt to increase insurgency activities by launching their spring offensive.

The Afghan forces have started the new fighting season with increased capabilities, specifically with improved air power by receiving more equipment and aircraft from allies.
