KABUL (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 17th December, 2019) Eleven Taliban militants were killed, and several others were injured in Afghanistan's Kunduz province during a night operation by the Afghan forces, spokesman for the Afghan National Army's 217th Corps Abdul Hadi Jamal told Sputnik on Tuesday.
"In a night-time operation in the village of Isa Khel in the Chahar Dara district [Kunduz province], 11 militants were killed, 12 AK57 [assault rifles] and several pieces of ammunition were also seized by the commando forces," Jamal said.
The Taliban have not yet commented on the operation.
The Taliban group has been waging a war against the Afghan government for years, challenging stability and security in the region. As a result, terrorist groups, such as the Islamic State and al-Qaeda (both outlawed in Russia), have also spread across the country.
