Three Taliban militants were killed and seven others wounded after Afghan National Army launched an operation in Bala Buluk district of the western province of Farah, Afghan Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
“The raid was conducted on Friday and the ANA also destroyed seven militants’ bunkers and defused 16 rounds of improvised explosive device (IED) and landmines there,” it said in a statement.
The province bordering Iran has been the scene of clashes between Taliban and security forces since early this year when the Taliban launched a so-called yearly offensive against the security forces across the country.
The Taliban has yet to make comments.
