[KhaamaPress] Security forces have defused at least two Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) during a search in Urgon district of Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
province, said the Ministry of Defense in a statement Monday.

According to the authorities, the explosives were planted by the Talibs at the location, who are well known for their terrorist activities and plantation or roadside mines throughout Afghanistan.

"2 IEDs which were placed by Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
on public roads in Urgon district of Paktika province, were discovered and defused," said the MoD in a tweet. "Lives of tens of civilians were saved as a result."

The Taliban did not immediately comment on the incident.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?

Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.

If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

in a news from Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
, at least 11 Taliban killed and further six maimed during an operation carried by the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) in Pashton Zarghon district of the province Sunday.

"11 Taliban were killed and 6 others were maimed after they attacked #ANDSF positions in Pashton Zarghon district of Herat province, yesterday," said MoD in a tweet.

Officials did not provide further details but said, "a large amount of their weapons and ammunitions were destroyed."
