Jalalabad - Arab Today
Up to 27 militants loyal to the extremist Islamic State (IS) group were killed and 13 others injured after the security forces aircrafts targeted the insurgents' hideouts in Achin district of Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province on Sunday, spokesman for provincial government Attaullah Khogiani said.
"The security forces aircrafts conducted two sorties in Mohmandara and Kandarpisha areas of Achin district at 11:00 a.m. local time today killing 27 IS rebels on the spot and injuring 13 others," Khogiani told reporters.
The official added that the government forces would continue to target the armed insurgents elsewhere in the country.
Militants loyal to IS are yet to make comment.
Parts of Nangarhar province with Jalalabad as its capital 120 km east of Kabul have been the scene of IS activities over the past two years.
