The United States Military has launched military strikes against the Taliban forces in Afghanistan, it’s first military strike in 11 days, and it’s first strike since the US, Taliban forces and Afghan government signed a historic peace deal that was meant to end the 18 year old war in the country.
U.S. military spokesman Col. Sonny Leggett said in a tweet that the “defensive” strike was the first U.S. attack against the militants in 11 days and that the attack was to counter a Taliban assault on Afghan government forces in Nahr-e Saraj in the southern Helmand province.
The Afghan Interior Ministry says that four civilians and 11 troops were killed Wednesday in a wave of Taliban attacks across the country .
