Afghanistan Ministry of Defense (MoD) confirmed that the dozens of Taliban militants were killed and scores others wounded in 12 provinces over the past 24 hours.
The statement further highlighted that, a number of weapons and ammunition belonging to the militant group were also destroyed during the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces’ operations.
According to MoD, at least 67 various types of IEDs placed by the Taliban on the public roads were also discovered and defused by the Afghan National Army.
The Taliban militants were killed and wounded in Ghazni, Zabul, Kandahar, Helmand, Uruzgan, Logar, Farah, Herat, Sar-e-Pul, Nimroz, Kunduz, and Baghlan provinces.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has completed up to 20% of its withdrawal process from Afghanistan, as America makes an exit from its longest war. In April, President Joe Biden announced a full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11.
The withdrawal of approximately 3,000 U.S. service members coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, which prompted US entry into lengthy wars in the Middle East and Central Asia.
