Afghan police and US-led coalition forces killed more than 50 Taliban militants in fighting in southern Afghanistan, the government said Wednesday. The "terrorists" were killed in clashes in the volatile Charchino district of Uruzgan province over the past 24 hours, the interior ministry said in a statement.
There were no casualties to Afghan and US forces, the government said. The operation involved ground and air attacks, Uruzgan police chief Juma Gul Himat said. Separately a Taliban commander and four of his guards were killed in a police operation in Deh Rawood district of the same province on Tuesday, said the statement.
