Kabul, May 22 (IBNS): In an effort to curb terrorism, at least 14 militants belonging to the Taliban and ISIS have been killed in separate counter-terrorism drives by the Afghan forces in the country's Nangarhar province, local Khaama Press reported.

The operations were conducted in Achin and Kuz Kunar districts of the province, the state run agency quoted the provincial government officials as saying.

The drive also left eight other militants injured, while several weapons and ammunition were confiscated.

The Afghan forces conduct counter-terrorism activities frequently to keep the country safe from militants, which otherwise is plagued by terrorists and terror related issues.
