At least three Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack in southern Kandahar province on Monday night, local officials said on Tuesday.
In addition, five other soldiers were injured.
The attack took place in Khakrez district of the province after a number of Taliban insurgents attacked ANA and local police check posts and clashed with troops, a spokesman for the provincial governor, Samim Ikhpelwak said.
“The Taliban also suffered heavy casualties but there is no exact information about the number of the casualties,” Ikhpelwak said.
But a security source told TOLOnews that 15 ANA soldiers and police were killed in Monday night's attack.
