Kandahar, Afghanistan: The Taliban have conducted operations against the fighters of Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-KP), a regional affiliate of the Islamic State (IS) group, in four districts of Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar, media reports said on Monday.
This is the first time the Taliban launched operations against the Afghanistan affiliate of Islamic State group in Kandahar province, reports Khaama Press.
Local residents have told the news agency that the operations started Monday midnight and continued until early morning the following day, and claimed three civilians have also been killed during the operations.
