Ten Taliban terrorists were killed and three others injured after they attacked national security forces in the eastern Afghan provinces of Ghazni and Nangarhar, the country's defense ministry said on Friday. According to the statement, the attacks took place in the Asfandi area of Ghazni province's capital city of Ghazni and Khogyani district in Nangarhar province.

"Six Taliban terrorists were killed and three others were wounded in the clashes in the Asfandi area. Also, four terrorists were killed and three others were injured in the attack in Khogyani district," the statement read.
