The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops have cleared a suspected improvised explosive device (IED)-making factory, captured four insurgents and killed two others in Uruzgan province of southern Afghanistan, the military said Monday.
The ISAF soldiers came under fire from insurgents during a routine patrol in Tarin Kowt district of Uruzgan Saturday, the NATO-led ISAF said in a statement.
"When they reacted, troops discovered the building containing numerous IED-making materials," it said.
The NATO-led military said no ISAF members were injured during this attack.
A total of 47,000 multi-national NATO-led troops are deployed with U.N. mandate in Afghanistan to help with stabilization and reconstruction.
