Airstrikes kill 12 militants in eastern Afghan province

GHAZNI, Afghanistan, Nov 30, 2018 (BSS/XINHUA) – At least 12 militants
associated with the Taliban group were killed following airstrikes in eastern
Afghanistan’s Ghazni province, authorities said Friday.

Over the last 12 hours, Afghan and coalition forces coordinated airstrikes
resulted in the killing of 12 Taliban militants in Giro district of Ghazni
province, said a statement issued by Afghan army’ 203 Tandar Corps.

No civilian or local troops have suffered life loss during the bombings,
said the statement.

Ghazni turned restive recently, after hundreds of militants loyal to the
Taliban group stormed the ancient city, inflicting heavy casualties and
displacement among the residents.
