At least 17 Taliban fighters were killed and 8 others were wounded in Special Forces raid which was conducted along Highway-1 in South-eastern Ghazni province.

“Afghan Special Forces conducted an operation along Highway 1 in Ghazni killing 17 Taliban fighters and wounding 8 others,” the informed military sources said Monday.

The anti-government armed militants including Taliban have not commented regarding the raid so far.

Ghazni is among the relatively volatile provinces in South-east of Afghanistan.

In the meantime, the Afghan armed forces have stepped up counter-terrorism operations to suppress the anti-government armed elements across the country.
