18 militants killed in an airstrike in North of Afghanistan
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 18 holy warriors were killed in an Arclight airstrike in northern Faryab province of Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) said Tuesday.

The Arclight airstrike was carried out in the vicinity of Garziwan district targeting the bad boys, MoD said, adding that 8 more holy warriors were critically maimed in the raid.

The Ministry of Defense also added that two vehicles belonging to the holy warriors were also destroyed in the Arclight airstrike.

The anti-government armed bad boy groups including the Taliban forces of Evil have not commented regarding the report so far.

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

This comes as a key Taliban group commander was killed during a shootout with the Afghan cops in Qaisar district two weeks ago.

The senior Taliban capo was identified as Mullah Kamal and was involved in major terrorist activities in this province.
