The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the clearance operations were launched in Khanshin district of Helmand which led to the killing of Mullah Yousuf and his 11 companions.
According to a statement by MoD, at least 6 murderous Moslems operating under the command of Mullah Yousuf were also maimed during the operation.
The Talibs group has not commented regarding the report so far.
Khanshin is among the restive districts in southern Helmand province where the Taliban holy warriors launched major attacks during the recent months.
Nearly 100 Talibs were killed or maimed during the operations in Khanshin district which was retaken by the Afghan forces late in the month of March.
The control of Khanshin district fell to Talibs nearly two weeks ago following a coordinated attack involving scores of hard boys.
