KANDAHAR: At least 23 Afghan security forces were killed in a Taliban attack on a joint US-Afghan base in southwestern Afghanistan, officials said on Friday, as fighting continues amid a pause in peace talks between the insurgents and American negotiators.
“The operation is over — 23 security forces killed, 15 injured and 20 insurgents killed,” said Ghafoor Ahmad Jawed, a spokesman with the Ministry of Defence.
A separate source from the provincial Government also confirmed the toll. (AGENCIES)
