At least 10 militants were killed during military operations and clashes across Afghanistan within a day, officials said on Saturday.
"Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) conducted several clean-up operations in surrounding areas of Nangarhar, Kapisa, Ghazni, Paktia, Kandahar, Uruzgan, Badghis, Takhar and Helmand provinces within a day. As a result, six armed militants were killed, two wounded and seven others detained by the ANSF," Xinhua news agency quoted an official as saying.
