in Khogyani district of Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
The anti-government armed myrmidon groups have not commented regarding the reports so far.

Kunar is among the relatively volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed myrmidon groups are actively operating in a number of its districts and often carry out insurgency activities.

Two top commanders of the anti-government armed gunnies were killed in an Arclight airstrike by the Afghan Air Force (AAF) in Ghanizabad district nearly ten days ago.

At least 17 gunnies were also killed in the same Arclight airstrike and mortar and rocket launcher along with 3 Ak-47 assault rifles and various other types of explosives belonging to the gunnies were destroyed.

The Afghan forces have stepped counter-terrorism operations to suppress the insurgency activities of the myrmidon groups as the hard boyz are attempting to increase terrorist attacks by launching their spring offensive.

The Afghan forces are vastly utilizing the newly-added state of the art equipment including the A-29 Super Tucano fixed-wing aircraft to suppress the anti-government armed myrmidon groups.
