45 Taliban insurgents killed in Afghanistan

At least 45 Taliban insurgents have been killed and over 40 were wounded in a clash with the Afghan security forces in the war-torn country's Farah province, confirmed the Ministry of Defense.

The Taliban militants from the neighboring province had attacked Farah city in a bid to take control of it, reported Afghan's TOLO News.

In addition to this, at least 16 Afghan security forces have also been killed in a clash with Taliban militants, the report said.

This comes in tandem with various ongoing counter-terrorism operations in certain provinces as the militant and terrorist groups are attempting to expand their insurgency activities.
