23 Taliban militants killed in Kunduz airstrikes: MoD
2016-07-28
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 23 Taliban snuffies were killed during Arclight airstrikes in the restive Kunduz province in North of Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) said Wednesday.

According to a statement by MoD, the Arclight airstrikes were carried out in Dasht-e-Archi and Qala-e-Zal districts in the past 24 hours.

The statement further added that the artillery units of the Afghan National Army (ANA) forces also pounded the Taliban hideouts in the two districts.

According to MoD, at least three Taliban snuffies also sustained injuries during the Arclight airstrikes in Qala-e-Zal and Dasht-e-Achi.

The anti-government armed myrmidon groups have not commented regarding the report so far.

Kunduz is among the relatively volatile provinces in North of Afghanistan where the anti-government armed myrmidon groups are actively operating and frequently carry out insurgency activities.

The Talibs launched a major attack to capture the strategic Kunduz city by launching its spring offensive earlier this year but the attack was repulsed by the Afghan forces.
