According to a statement released by 203rd Thunder Corps of the Afghan Military, the unmanned aerial vehicles of coalition forces carried out airstrikes in Mohammad Agha district, leaving at least eight militants dead.

The statement further added that the militants were targeted in the vicinity of Surkhab area and Azim Village of the district.

A motorcycle of the anti-government armed militants was also destroyed during the airstrikes, the 203rd Thunder Corps added.
