FARAH CITY (Pajhwok): A foreign forces’ airstrike killed eleven Taliban militants, including three commanders, on the outskirts of Farah City, the capital of western Farah province, an official said on Friday.
Farah police spokesman Mohibullah Mohib told Pajhwok Afghan News the airstrikes targeted two vehicles carrying Taliban militants in Takht-i-Tewsak and Kora Gaza areas of Farah City on Thursday evening.
He said three commanders were among eleven Taliban killed in the strikes. He identified the slain commanders as Mullah Abdul Zahir Hotak, Abdul Salam Hanzala and Mullah Abdul Shakoor.
The airstrikes took place away from residential homes in a desert, confirmed local residents, who were not aware about any casualties.
The Taliban, who recently killed 22 police including two officers four days ago in the province, have so far said nothing about the airstrikes.
