KABUL, Afghanistan — Two separate attacks killed more than 70 Taliban insurgents on Saturday, NATO officials said, although some local residents said that civilians were among the victims.
In eastern Laghman Province, a combined force of Afghan and coalition soldiers airlifted troops into the Masooda village in the Alishing district to clear the area of insurgents, the international forces said in a statement. After coming under fire, they called for air support, and 32 insurgents were killed, according to Afghan police officials. NATO officials separately put the death toll at “more than 30.”
