Kabul, Nov 23 (IBNS) : Several militants loyal to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group offshoot, ISIS Khorasan, were killed in the latest airstrikes conducted by the US forces based in Afghanistan.

Local Khaama Press said the latest airstrikes were carried out in Deh Bala district of Nangarhar province.

The Silab Corps officials are saying that the hideouts of the terror group were targeted by unmanned aerial vehicles in Payin area of the district.

The officials further added at least ten ISIS militants were killed in the airstrikes but no casualties were incurred to the local residents or security personnel.

The anti-government armed militant groups including the ISIS loyalists have not commented regarding the report so far.

This comes as at least twenty militants of the Taliban group and loyalists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group were killed or wounded during the operations in this province earlier this week.
