As many as 25 Taliban terrorists have been killed in an airstrike in northern Balkh province of Afghanistan on Wednesday night.
The airstrike occurred in Dawlat Abad village in Balkh district, TOLO news quoted Munir Ahmad Farhad, spokesperson for the provincial governor, as saying.
According to local sources, the airforce had targeted a farmer's house and during the strike four civilians, including a child and a woman, were killed.
This claim, however, has been rejected by Farhad and other officials of the 209th Shaheen Military Corps.
Taliban has not issued any statement on the matter.
