Kabul, Apr 21 (IBNs): At least six Afghan Local Police (ALP) personnel were killed during a clash with Taliban terrorists in Sayyad district of northern Sar-i-Pul province of Afghanistan, media reports said on Saturday.

The deceased included three Taliban terrorists as well.

Governor Mohammad Zahir Wahdat told Afghanistan-based Pajhwok Afghan News the militants stormed a security check-post in the Toblaq area of the district late on Friday night.

At least six ALP men and three militants were killed, he told the news agency.

He said the ALP post remained under Taliban’s control and the three-hour firefight. 

Following the arrival of reinforcement, the post was later taken into control by security forces.
