BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Afghan and Coalition forces killed several suspected militants during an operation earlier today in Helmand Province using a combination of small-arms fire and precision munitions.
The precision munitions were employed on locations in Garmsir District where the combined forces suspected Taliban militants were hiding. There was some damage to a building in the area throughout the course of operation.
During the operation, a vehicle with a weapons cache inside it was found and destroyed. The cache consisted of several rockets, numerous AK-47s, a heavy machine gun, multiple boxes of ammunition, rocket propelled grenades and ammunition vests with magazines.
“Taliban militants are only interested in their own agenda,” said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, Combined Joint Task Force-82 spokesman. “They have no regard for securing peace and prosperity in Afghanistan.”
There were no indications of injuries or deaths to non-combatants in the operation.
