By SPA,
Kabul : The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan says its warplanes have killed about 22
militants in the country’s troubled east, reported ap.
A coalition statement says Afghan police called for help when gunmen attacked government offices in the Sarobi and Gomal districts of Paktika province Tuesday night.
It says an estimated 22 militants were positively identified and killed after its warplanes arrived.
Fighting between Taliban-led militants and security forces is surging, damping hopes that the six-year, multibillion-dollar effort to stabilize the country will succeed any time soon.
NATO said earlier Wednesday that an explosion killed one of its soldiers on a patrol in southern Afghanistan.
