#1 At least 15 Death Eaters including some of the Taliban leaders loyal to Pakistain’s Inter Services Intelligence ‐ ISI, were killed in the Arclight airstrike, the statement added.

#3 The statement also added that three Humvee vehicles, 1 Ford Ranger vehicle, 18 PK heavy machine guns, 3 mortars, 4 SPG-9 rocket launchers, and 25 AK-47 assault rifles were destroyed.
