Afghan air strike kills 15 militants in Kunduz

Xinhua, November 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

A total of 15 militants were killed and five others injured as Afghan aircraft pounded Taliban hideouts in Kunduz province on Monday, provincial police chief Mohammad Qasim Jangalbagh said.

"Acting upon intelligence report, the warplanes targeted hideouts of Taliban fighters in Chardara district early Monday, leaving 15 rebels dead and five others injured," Jangalbagh told reporters.

The Taliban outfit hasn't commented.

After recapturing Kunduz city from Taliban in mid October, the Afghan government forces have been chasing the militants elsewhere in the province to ensure lasting peace in Kunduz and adjoining Baghlan and Takhar provinces. Endit
