JALALABAD (Pajhwok) The governor of eastern Nangarhar province on Tuesday claimed the Daesh or so-called Islamic State (IS) group has been defeated at leadership level in the province.

However, Nangarhar Governor Gulab Mangal said IS militants operating in Nangarhar had been weakened and they had lost the ability to enter a face-to-face fight with Afghan security forces.
