KABUL, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Two militants were killed following an airstrike in Afghanistan's eastern province of Kapisa, the latest in a string of airstrikes against the Taliban, the government said Wednesday.
"Two enemy combatants were killed and one militants' vehicle was destroyed following an airstrike in Dara-e-Ghain locality, Nijrab district of Kapisa on Tuesday," Presidential Information Coordination Center (Tawhid Center) said in a statement.
The statement did not say whether the sortie was conducted by Afghan Air Force or NATO-led coalition forces.
The Afghan security forces, backed by the NATO-led coalition troops, have increased ground and air offensives against militants within the past few months as spring and summer known as fighting season is drawing near in the country.
