An intelligence official, who declined to be named, told Xinhua that the operation was completed and five militants were killed. The forces arrested one militant, he added.

A resident of the area who witnessed the attack said the militants moved to the house about a week ago and that seven or eight men and one woman were living there.

The overnight operation came as Kabul tightened security following a failed attempt on Afghan President Hamid Karzai during April 27 military parade.
