At Least 25 Daesh Militants Killed by Airstrikes in Eastern Afghanistan
09:53 GMT 31.12.2015 (Updated: 11:09 GMT 31.12.2015) At least 25 militants from the Islamic State (IS, or Daesh in Arabic) terrorist group have been killed, and 31 others wounded, in two airstrikes in Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province, the country's Ministry of Defense said on Thursday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The precision airstrikes were carried out during the past 24 hours, the ministry said in a statement.

One of the Daesh commanders in Afghanistan, Sayed Amarati, is believed to have been killed by the latest airstrikes, according to the statement. Several units of both heavy and light weapons belonging to the militants have also been destroyed.
The Nangarhar has recently become a hot spot of Daesh activity in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is in political and social turmoil, with Taliban insurgents and other extremist factions such as Daesh, which is outlawed in Russia and many other countries, taking advantage of the instability in the country.
