KABUL, 17 December, 2020, (TON): Two explosive-laden hijacked military armoured vehicles were destroyed by the Afghan Air Force (AAF) in restive southern Helmand province, authorities said Thursday.
"Acting on confirmed intelligence tips, AAF conducted two airstrikes roughly at 5:00 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. local time on Thursday. More details will be shared with media later in the day," the provincial directorate of the Afghan National Directorate of Security, the country's national intelligence agency, said in a statement.
The NDS personnel also found and defused an improvised bomb outside the house of a local elder in Police District 3 of provincial capital Lashkar Gah city earlier on Thursday.
The Afghan security forces have recently beefed up security operations against the Taliban.
Recent attacks in districts across Afghanistan are advancing despite a deal signed with the US in February. However, these attacks in Afghanistan will throw the very idea of a peace process into question.
