fighters were killed in five districts of Kandahar province.

The Taliban have not yet commented in this regards.

This comes as the Ministry of Defense said Wednesday that 229 Afghan Air Force officers from the 777 Mission Wing graduated from advanced military training.
Some of the graduates are clearly female in a photo at the link, wearing a hijab in addition to the same style of uniform as the men.
General Yasin Zia, Chief of Army Staff and acting Minister of Defense, and several other senior officers also attended the ceremony to honor the graduates, according to MoD.

Afghan Airforce has developed further in terms of combat and technical capabilities, the Ministry of Defense said in a tweet.

The newly graduated officers can independently plan and execute all matters related to Air Force operations, including combat missions, resupplying ground troops, and casualty evacuations.
