Kabul : US-led coalition troops have killed several militants during an operation in Farah province in western Afghanistan.
A statement from the coalition forces’ Bagram base on Sunday said the militants’ location was pinpointed through intelligence reports to a remote area known to be a safe haven for Taliban and foreign fighters.
After the militants were positively identified and US forces determined that there were no non-combatants in the area, coalition aircraft carried out an air strike.
There were no casualties among the Afghan security forces or the US troops during the action, said the statement. It did not mention the exact number of casualties among the militants.
