province of Afghanistan.

Security officials said Sunday that the faceless myrmidons were killed in an Arclight airstrike conducted in Achin district which is home to scores of ISIS loyalists.

The officials further added another ISIS Lion of Islam was maimed during the Arclight airstrike but it is yet not clear if the raid was conducted by the Afghan Air Force or the US forces in Afghanistan.

This comes as at least 21 ISIS faceless myrmidons were killed in a similar raid in Achin district last week, while at least 15 more were killed during a separate operation conducted in Achin earlier.
