Kabul : Afghan troops killed three militants and injured another six in southern Afghan province of Zabul on Wednesday, said an official on Thursday.
“Clashes between Afghan troops and militants in Deh Chopan district of Zabul province left three militants dead and six others injured,” Fazal Haudi, the district chief told Xinhua.
Conflicts and Taliban-related violence claimed around 8,000 lives last year, according to a latest-released UN figure.
Over 210 people have been killed mostly in militant-related violence this year across the war-torn country, where the anti-government militants have vowed to intensify their guerrilla-style attacks.
