Kabul, Jan 28 (IBNS): An airstrike conducted on Sunday in Afghanistan's southern Kandahar province left at least 19 Taliban terrorists killed, media reports said on Monday.

The incident left 11 others injured, reports said.

Aziz Ahmad Azizi, the governor’s spokesman, told Pajhwok Afghan News that foreign forces conducted the airstrike on a militant hideout in the Sro Sahano locality of the district late on Sunday.

Aziz told the Afghanstan-based news agency that the Taliban used the hideout as a training centre.

The Taliban did not comment on the issue so far.
