Multiple militants were killed by Coalition forces during an operation to disrupt militant activities in Kapisa province, that also targeted a Taliban commander, Sunday.

The force searched a compound in Tag Ab District targeting a Taliban commander responsible for smuggling foreign fighters into Afghanistan, as well as conducting IED attacks against Coalition and ISAF forces.

During the operation, armed militants engaged the force. Coalition forces responded with airstrikes and small-arms fire killing the militants.

Coalition forces discovered multiple AK-47s, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition vests and ammunition. These items were destroyed to prevent future use.
