KABUL: Afghan and Nato-led troops have killed 40 Taliban insurgents in offensives this week in eastern Afghanistan, coalition forces said on Tuesday.
“The joint force has killed approximately 40 Taliban fighters and captured eight key Taliban facilitators in recent days,” the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said in a statement.
It said the ongoing operation, which began on Saturday and involves air strikes, uncovered arms and vests for use in suicide attacks.
A Taliban spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
