[Tolo News] Air strikes by the Afghan airforce on Friday succeeded in pushing back the Taliban from Raghistan Bazar in Raghistan district, Badakhshan, officials said Friday.

Provincial police front man Chief Lal Mohammad Ahmadzia told TOLOnews that the Taliban attacked the district late Thursday night and came close to the Raghistan district Bazar but as a result of air strikes pushed back the murderous Moslems.

Ahmadzai said that during the Arclight airstrike at least 30 Taliban were killed and that the bodies of 10 gunnies remain on the battle field.

Three coppers were also killed and three others maimed in the clash, Ahmadzai added.
