23 militants were killed and 3 others injured as Afghan government forces stormed Taliban hideouts in Pashtunkot and Almar districts of Faryab province, as reported by an army spokesman on Thursday.
In the operations launched on Wednesday afternoon, a large number of arms and ammunitions, as well as 4 motorbikes, were also destroyed, the official said.
According to the official, the government forces will continue to chase the militants elsewhere in the restive province.
Taliban militants are apparently in control of major parts of Faryab province and have been fighting to overrun the provincial capital Maimana city.
In a similar development, at least 10 Taliban militants were killed as fighting flared up in Taluqan city, capital of Takhar province, on Thursday, a local police spokesman said.
The combat, according to the official, erupted after the Taliban fighters attacked security checkpoints in the city’s Sarai Sang area, starting a gun battle.
3 security personnel have also been killed in the fighting.
5 more militants and two security personnel have been injured, the official further said.
