28 people were freed from a Taliban detention centre as well as 6 armed militants were killed after the Afghan army commandos launched a special operation in Helmand province.
The Defence Ministry of Afghanistan gave a statement that “The commandos of Afghan National Army launched the raid in surrounding areas of Helmand’s Musa Qala district. A gunfight took place when the troops arrived at the targeted facility, and six armed militants were killed”.
The freed people were shifted to an army camp after medical check-ups.
The Taliban insurgents often detain civilians and off-duty soldiers from highways and villages as well as they punish civilians for spying for Afghan Government’s security forces.
There has been no comment from the Taliban militant.
