KANDAHAR (Pajhwok): Fourteen Taliban militants and a policeman were killed during an overnight clash in Nesh district of southern Kandahar province, an official said on Tuesday.
The militants reportedly captured three checkpoints in Hajji Alam, Shna-Gariz and Sharak localities during Monday’s night coordinated attack, a claim security officials rejected.
A resident of Nesh district, Hanifullah, told Pajhwok Afghan News the militants launched a coordinated attack on the district. He said fighters from Ghorag and Tirinkot, the capital of Uruzgan province, had joined the attacking comrades . . .
