At least 19 insurgents were killed and one was arrested during a series of coordinated operations over the past 24 hours by the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), the Ministry of Interior (MoI) said in a statement to ToloNews .
The operations were conducted in Herat, Khost, Maidan Wardak, Helmand, Sar-e-Pul, Kunduz, Takhar, Faryab and Jowzjan provinces, the statement said.
“During the same 24 hour period, Afghan National Police discovered and defused two rockets and three different types of IEDs placed by enemies of Afghanistan for destructive activities in Kabul and Faryab provinces,” the statement noted.
The MoI, however, did not comment on whether any security force members were harmed in the operations.
