[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least four gunnies including a local commander of the Taliban

group were killed in the US Arclight airstrike in central Maidan Wardak province of Afghanistan.

The 203rd Thunder Corps of the Afghan Military in the Southeast said the airstrikes were carried out in the vicinities of Badam and Alsang areas of Nerkh district.

According to Thunder Corps, a local commander of the Taliban group is also among those killed but did not elaborate further regarding his identity.

The anti-government armed hard boy groups including Talibs have not commented regarding the report so far.

This comes as counter terrorism operations involving ground operations and airstrikes are underway against the Taliban and other hard boy groups across the country.

In the meantime, the Thunder Corps said at least three non-combatants were killed and four others were maimed after their vehicle struck a roadside mine in Sharana city of Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
province.
