KANDAHAR: An Afghan official says more than 100 militants have been killed in two separate battles in southern Afghanistan.
Daud Ahamdi, the spokesman for Helmand province’s governor, says 62 militants were killed early Sunday by Afghan soldiers and NATO airstrikes after they launched a surprise attack on the provincial capital of Lashkar Gah.
Another 40 militants were killed in three days of fighting in Helmand’s Nad Ali district, which has been under militant control until now. That battle ended Saturday, he said.
Ahmadi said there were no casualties among Afghan or foreign troops.
