Six killed in anti-Daesh operation in Herat

Security forces carried out an operation against a Daesh hideout in Afghanistan’s western Herat province on Friday night, killing six individuals, officials said Saturday.

Abdullah Insaf, a spokesman for Herat police, said that the operation began at 10:00 p.m. in District 14 of the city.

He said that Daesh members had been inside a building when the operation started.

Six individuals who were killed in the operation also included a woman.

The operation comes five days after security forces killed a top Daesh commander in capital Kabul.
