The tribal elders in eastern Nangarhar province of Afghanistan welcomed the airstrike against Daesh hideouts in Achin district, seeking for more such raids against the other hideouts of the terrorist group, Khaama Press reported on Saturday.
Provincial governor Ataullah Khogyani said the elders sought further support from the Afghan and international community in the fight against the terror group.
Khogyani further added that the airstrike conducted on Thursday evening has resulted into the killing of more than 80 insurgents, mainly comprising foreigners.
Nangarhar’s provincial council secretary Zabiullah Zmarai said the tribal elders had long requested the government for the elimination of Daesh terrorist group affiliates in Nangarhar.
