Kabul: At least nine terrorists of the Haqqani terror group were killed following air strikes in Afghanistan’s Paktika, officials said on Monday.
“Afghan Special Operations Forces-related air strikes targeted terrorists of Haqqani terror network in Paktika province Sunday, killing nine Haqqani gunmen and destroying two motorcycles,” agencies reported citing the Operational Coordination Group Afghanistan’s statement.
As a Taliban-linked group of terrorists, the Haqqani network was designated as a terrorist group by the US in 2012.
