Afghan Police forces kill 7 Taliban militants

Afghan police forces have killed seven Taliban militants and injured six others during a shootout in Badakhshan Province, a local official said.

"A group of Taliban militants raided police checkpoints in Zorakhshan area of Wardoj district Wednesday night and police returned fire which lasted till Thursday morning,” district Governor Dawlat Mohammad Khawar said.

During the clash, “seven insurgents, including three foreign nationals had been killed and six others injured,” he said.

There were no casualties on the security personnel and civilians, he added.

Badakhshan province is located 315 km (195 miles) northeast of Afghanistan's capital city, Kabul.

Taliban militants have not yet commented on this attack.


Earlier, the Afghan defense ministry said in a statement that 44 militants were killed and 74 others wounded during a series of operations carried out in the provinces of Baghlan, Helmand and Jawzjan.

Afghanistan faces a security challenge years after the United States and its allies invaded the country in 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror. The offensive removed Taliban from power, but many areas in the country are still witnessing violence.

At least 13,500 foreign forces remain in Afghanistan despite the end of the US-led combat mission, which came on December 31, 2014. The forces, mainly from the US, are there for what Washington calls a support mission. NATO says the forces will focus mainly on counterterrorism operations and training Afghan soldiers and policemen.
