The 201st Silab Corps of the Afghan Military in the East said the operations, Qahri Silab Number Three, are jointly being conducted to improve the security of Lata Band area ahead of the parliamentary and district councils elections. A statement by Silab Corps stated that the operations are jointly being conducted by the Afghan army, Afghan police Special Forces, Border Police and Afghan Local Police, and the Afghan Intelligence operatives. The statement further added that a full coordination is in place with the 111th Army Division of the Afghan Military while operations are being conducted. According to Silab, several villages in the area have been fully cleared from the presence of the holy warriors during the operations so far.

Security sources in Kabul confirmed that the incident took place late on Tuesday night in the vicinity of Surobi district. The sources further added at least six soldiers bit the dust and at least four others were maimed in the attack. |
