US and Afghan government forces attacked an insurgent stronghold in the southern province of Uruzgan on Monday, killing more than 40 of them, the US military said. US-led troops have mounted big offensives in Afghanistan's south and east over recent weeks in response to the most intense phase of Taliban violence since the hard-line Islamists were ousted in 2001.
"Afghan national security forces and coalition troops conducted a raid on a known extremist compound July 10, killing more than 40 extremists," the US military said in a statement.
