KABUL, Jan 5 (NNN-ANA) – Afghan security forces stormed a hideout of militants, affiliated with the rival Daesh outfit, in the Afghan capital city of Kabul, yesterday, killing seven people with several others arrested, a government official said.
“Security forces of the Islamic Emirate, launched operations against the hideout of the Daesh militants in Qalacha and Shuhadai Salehen localities of Kabul, last night, and as a result, seven Daesh rebels were killed and seven others arrested,” the Taliban-run administration chief spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, tweeted today.
Earlier yesterday afternoon, Kabul residents reported that a series of blasts rocked the Karta-e-Naw locality and its vicinity in Police District 8.
Mujahid also said, Afghan security forces captured two armed insurgents of the rival Daesh group, in the western Nimroz province, early yesterday morning.
The Daesh has claimed responsibility for a series of deadly attacks on Afghan caretaker government interests, including the latest one on the gate of a military airport in Kabul, a couple of days ago, which left over a dozen killed and injured. The group has yet to make any comment on Mujahid’s claim.– NNN-ANA
