In another attack on Thursday, NRF said its forces injured two Taliban members in the Puzeh Kham-Zargar area of Kohistan district in Kapisa province.
On Friday night, NRF stated that its forces killed one Taliban member and wounded two others in a counter-attack in the Khost district of Baghlan province, adding that the Taliban forces had attempted to carry out an offensive but were forced to retreat after suffering casualties.
None of its forces were harmed in these attacks, NRF said.
