RC N Watch: Zahlreiche Aufständische mit gezielten Luftangriffen getötet

Ab und zu muss man dran erinnern, dass in Nordafghanistan keineswegs Ruhe herrscht – und das nicht nur in den hier meist wahrgenommenen Regionen rund um Kundus und Baghlan.

Aus dem ISAF Joint Command Morning Operational Update heute:

In Sayad district, Sar-e Pul province, coalition forces killed numerous Taliban insurgents with precision air strikes yesterday. Earlier in the day, a coalition security team was notified of an insurgent attack against local Afghan forces. After assessing the threat the security force called for precision air strikes, killing the individuals.

Following the strike, local leaders were quick to express appreciation for the coalition’s response to the Taliban threat.
