Three Afghan army soldiers killed in separate attacks

Xinhua, November 29, 2015 Adjust font size:

A total of three soldiers have been killed in attacks in Afghanistan since early Saturday, the country's Defense Ministry said on Sunday.

"Three Afghan National Army personnel were martyred as a result of separate attacks across Afghanistan over the past 24 hours," the ministry said in a statement.

Several Taliban insurgent group members were killed and injured while three armed insurgents were captured during joint military operations in different provinces over the same period, the statement said, without revealing the exact number of casualties on the side of the militants.

The Afghan security forces' casualties have risen recently as they have assumed the full security charges from NATO and U.S. forces since January this year. Endit
