KABUL, July 28 (Xinhua) -- At least two Taliban militants were killed after an Afghan special force-related airstrike targeted a running vehicle in eastern Logar province Friday night, the command of special forces said Saturday.
"The incident occurred in Logar's Mohammad Agha district. The targeted militants were responsible for a string of terrorist attacks and bombings in the district," Afghan National Army Special Operations Corps said in a statement.
The targeted vehicle was also destroyed in the sortie.
The Afghan security forces and U.S. and NATO-led coalition troops have increased ground and air offensives against militants in the last few months as the militants frequently attacked government interests across the country.
The Afghan Special Forces killed over 6,100 militants, injured about 3,200 and detained 443 others throughout 2017. They also destroyed 15 militants' command and control posts and 352 bunkers in different places over the period, according to official figures.
