province.

According to the local officials, the forces of Evil were killed in the past 24 hours in Achin district during the clearance operations and Arclight airstrikes.

The provincial government media office in a statement said Thursday at least thirty ISIS forces of Evil were killed during the Hamza operations since Wednesday.

The statement further added that three more ISIS forces of Evil were also killed and five others were maimed during the Shaheen military operations in Ghani Khel district.

The provincial government also added that 700 hectares of land were also cleared of poppy during the ongoing campaign to eradicate opium cultivation in this province.

Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in eastern Afghanistan but the anti-government armed hard boy groups have recently increased their insurgency activities in some parts of the province during the recent years.

Both the Afghan and US forces conducted regular strikes against the loyalists of the terror group in this province.

The increased raids, usually involving dronezaps, by the US forces followed a broader role granted by the B.O. regime earlier last year.
