However, the government forces in crackdown against militants, stormed Taliban hideouts in Dawlat Abad district of the northern Faryab province in the wee hours of Sunday, killing six insurgents and injuring two others, army spokesman in the northern region Mohammad Hanif Rezai said.

According to Rezai, two Taliban senior commanders namely Mawlawi Jalal and Mullah Jandullah were also among those killed in the raids.

Similarly, the government forces stormed a Taliban hideout in Shah Walikot district of the southern Kandahar province on Sunday, killing eight militants including a key Taliban commander Mullah Tor Naqibullah and injuring nine others, an army statement said.
