(IANS) — Kabul At least 16 Taliban militants were killed in separate incidents in Afghanistan Thursday, authorities said.

“Eight Taliban militants were killed after a coalition forces’ drone fired a missile on a militant hideout in Nari district of eastern Kunar province early Thursday,” provincial police chief Habibullah Sayyedkhil told Xinhua.

The militants tried to launch an attack on security forces before being killed, he noted.

Four militants were killed when the roadside bombs they were planting in southern Helmand and neighbouring Zabul province went off prematurely.
