At least 10 security force personnel and 15 Taliban insurgents were killed in separate clashes in Afghanistan's Uruzgan province last week in ongoing military operations said local officials.
In addition several Taliban insurgents and 11 other security forces were injured.
Dehrawood district Governor Aminullah Khaliqi said that clashes took place after security forces launched an operation to clear the area of insurgents, reports Tolo news.
