| 5 Insurgents Killed in Badakhshan Clash | |
| 2014-03-31 | |
[Tolo News] At least five insurgents, including their commander, were killed in clashes with Afghan forces in north-eastern Badakhshan province over the course of the past 24 hours, local security officials said Sunday morning.
The commander of the militant contingent, Sayed Shah, was killed during the clash. No civilian or military casualties were reported. Mr. Saleem said the operation successfully cleared the Jurm district of insurgents. The district has traditionally be one the most insecure parts of Badakhshan, however, if officials' reports are accurate then its stabilization comes at an opportune time, just days before the presidential and provincial council elections. | |
