JALALABAD (PAN): Eight militants were killed and 18 others wounded during operations in different parts of eastern Laghman province, an official said on Monday.

The operations were conducted by Afghan forces in Abuzai, Ramal, Katal, Maidani, Shaheed Baba, Noora, Syed Qala, Agha Kalai, Basram and Badiabad areas.

As a result of the offensives, militants were driven from the areas, the governor’s spokesman, Sarhadi Zwak, told Pajhwok Afghan News.

Two policemen were also killed and three others injured during the operations that led to the seizure of 22 anti-personnel landmines and two missiles.

But Khyber Zaheer, introducing himself as a local militant commander, rejected the gubernatorial spokesman’s claim regarding insurgent casualties.
