hideouts with heavy artillery and Arclight airstrikes in northeastern Badakhshan province of Afghanistan.

The 209th Shaheen Corps of the Afghan Military in the North said at least seven bandidos gunnies were killed and seven others were maimed during the operations.

The source further added that six bandidos gunnies were killed in the artillery strikes in Dodgah village in Tashkan district and four others sustained injuries.

According to Shaheen Corps, the Afghan Air Force also carried out airstrikes on Taliban hideouts in Kohistan

district in support of the ground forces.

At least one Taliban hard boy was killed during the same operations and three others were maimed, the Shaheen Corps added.

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

This comes as counter-terrorism operations and festivities are underway in Tashkan and Kohistan district of Badakhshan province since the last few days.

Earlier on Friday, reports emerged suggesting that the control of Kohistan has fallen into the hands of the Talibs and that operations are underway to retake its control.
