[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least sixteen holy warriors were killed or maimed in an kaboom in northern Jawzjan province of Afghanistan, the Afghan Military said Saturday.

According to a statement released by 209th Shaheen Corps of the Afghan Military in the North, the anti-government armed holy warriors launched a coordinated attack on Qosh Tapa district late on Friday night.

The statement further added that the attack was launched in Jardoq village but the holy warriors faced a quick reaction from the national defense and security forces.

According to 209th Shaheen Corps, at least six holy warriors were killed and ten others were maimed during the exchange fire and an kaboom which was triggered by own explosives of the holy warriors.

The anti-government armed holy warrior groups including Taliban

have not commented regarding the incident so far.

Jawzjan was among the relatively calm provinces in North of Afghanistan but the security situation of the province has tanked during the recent years.

The anti-government armed holy warriors including Talibs often attempt to carry out attacks against the government and security forces.
