The US claims it has successfully killed two ‘high profile’ ISIS targets on Friday.
As per the initial reports, no civilians were hurt in these drone attacks that took place in the early hours of Saturday local time.
“They were ISIS-K planners and facilitators. That’s enough reason there alone,” said spokesman John Kirby. “The fact that two of these individuals are no longer walking on the face of the Earth, that’s a good thing.”
“I can confirm, as more information has come in, that two high-profile ISIS targets were killed, and one was wounded. And we know of zero civilian casualties,” Maj. General. Hank Taylor, deputy director of the Joint Staff For Regional Operations, said Saturday.
A day after members of ISIS-K carried out bombings near the Kabul airport, killing at least 170 people among them 13 US troops and injuring several others, the US forces claimed they had carried out a successful drone strike.
About 48 hours after the Kabul attack, the U.S. military forces launched the unmanned airstrike in the Nangahar Province of Afghanistan against an ISIS-K planner. No civilian casualties were reported, Capt. Bill Urban said in the media briefing Friday.
