The U.S.-led Coalition forces have killed several insurgents in southern Afghan province of Uruzgan while launching operations to degrade weapons facilitation network in the area, said a statement issued by the Coalition forces on Saturday.
Coalition forces searched compounds in the Deh Rahwood district targeting a Taliban insurgent believed to be involved in supply in garms to other militants, the statement said.
While conducting a search of compounds, Coalition forces clashed with armed insurgents and eliminated them on-site in the area, it said.
After securing the area, Coalition forces recovered numerous small-arms weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and launchers as well as an improvised-explosive device. All the seized weapons were destroyed on the spot, the statement said.
The year of 2007 was the deadliest one since the collapse of Taliban regime in late 2001 as more than 6,000 people were killed.
