At least two militants affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Khurasan (ISIS-K) were killed during the airstrikes conducted in eastern Kunar province of Afghanistan. According to a statement issued by Afghanistan’s ministry of defense, the airstrikes were conducted in the vicinity of Wataput district.
Kunar is among the relatively volatile provinces in East of Afghanistan where the Taliban insurgents, as well as militants affiliated with the other terrorist groups, are actively operating in its various districts and often carry out insurgency and terrorist-related activities.
The latest airstrikes in Wataput have been carried out amid ongoing counter-terrorism operations against the loyalists of the terror group in some restive provinces of the country.
