KABUL - Afghan and international troops killed or wounded more than 30 Taleban militants in the past 24 hours, while an Afghan soldier and a policeman were killed separately, officials said on Thursday. The military operation focused on a district in the southern province of Helmand and involved warplanes from NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the defence ministry said in a statement. “More than 30 enemy elements were killed and wounded in the past 24 hours as a result of military operations and aerial poundings on enemy positions,” it said.| They keep putting their faces in the way, eventually we're going to bruise our knuckles. |
