Airstrikes kill 15 Taliban militants in Afghanistan

About 15 Taliban militants were killed in airstrikes as the fighters have been mobilized to overrun Kunduz city, capital of Afghanistan’s northern Kunduz province, an army spokesman said on Monday.

Spokesman Abdul Hadi Nazari said, acting on a tip-off, warplanes from the Afghan government forces targeted a Taliban gathering outside Kunduz city early Monday, killing 15 insurgents on the spot.

A number of arms and ammunition of the militants were also destroyed during the raids.

Taliban militants, who have captured five out of nine districts of the beleaguered Kunduz province and have been attempting to occupy the provincial capital Kunduz city, have yet to make comment on the airstrikes.

Fighting has intensified since the start of the withdrawal of the US-led forces from Afghanistan on 1st May and the Taliban group has reportedly captured more than 100 districts in the conflict-torn country.
