KUNAR: At least five Daesh fighters were Saturday killed in drone strikes in Kunar province of Afghanistan, 201st Selab Military Corps said.
The drone targeted Daesh hideouts in Manogi and Narang districts. The Afghan forces did not give any further details about the airstrike. Daesh fighters are active in many parts of Kunar and Nangarhar provinces.
The security situation in eastern Kunar province has started to deteriorate sharply during the recent months amid growing insurgency by the Taliban and IS militants.

Among the killed militants were two Taliban divisional commanders, Rezai added.
