Afghanistan
15 militants killed, 20 wounded in Kandahar and Ghor airstrikes
2016-05-15
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 15 turbans were killed and 20 others were maimed in two separate Arclight airstrikes in southern Kandahar and western Ghor province.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the Arclight airstrike in Ghor province was carried out in Pasaband district, leaving at least 7 turbans dead and 5 others maimed.

MoD further added that 8 turbans were killed and 15 others were maimed during the air raid in Arghandab district of Kandahar.

The anti-government armed bully boy groups including the Taliban bandidos myrmidons have not commented regarding the reports so far.

The Afghan cops have stepped up counter-terrorism operations as the terror groups attempt to increase insurgency activities by launching their spring offensive.

The Afghan forces have started the new fighting season with increased capabilities, specifically with improved air power by receiving more equipment and aircraft from allies.

The Afghan Air Force A-29 Super Tucano pilots have alone flown more than 260 sorties since January when they received the first batch of the light attack aircraft from the United States.

Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, Bossy was furiously chewing her cud and thinking...
the Afghan defense officials said last month that the Afghan Air Force carried out the most missions in mid-April by flying 83 missions over a period of 24 hours.
