According to the local government officials, the incident took place late on Tuesday night after several Taliban faceless myrmidons launched a coordinated attack on the security forces check posts in Garamser district.

The officials further added that two big shots of the Taliban group are also among those killed.

The provincial government media office in a statement confirmed the festivities and said the dead bodies of the Taliban faceless myrmidons are still left in the battleground.

The statement further added that two public order police forces personnel bit the dust and three others sustained injuries during the attack.

The control of the check posts are still in the hands of the national defense and security forces, the provincial government added.

The anti-government armed holy warrior groups including the Taliban faceless myrmidons have not commented regarding the report so far.

Helmand is among the volatile provinces in southern Afghanistan where the Taliban faceless myrmidons are actively operating in its various districts and often carry out insurgency activities.

This comes as the Afghan cops managed to take control of the restive Nawa district during a large operation launched after almost nine months when the control of the district was seized by the Taliban group.
