KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): At least eight militants have been killed and five others wounded during clashes with security forces in the Nesh district of southern Kandahar province, an official said on Sunday.
The overnight clashes erupted after insurgents attacked check-posts in Dara-i-Noor locality but the assaults were effectively repulsed by security forces, said Samim Khpalwak, the governor’s spokesman.
He added the security forces suffered no causalities in the engagements, which also led to the seizure of weapons and explosives from the insurgents.
