KABUL, Afghanistan - Attacks by coalition and Afghan forces have killed more than 10 Taliban in Afghanistan.
Faridullah Khan, deputy provincial police chief of the southern province of Zabul, says nine Taliban were killed in air strikes after militants launched an early morning attack on an army convoy.
Khan says two Afghan army vehicles were damaged in the Thursday morning fight and that six Taliban motorbikes and several rocket-propelled grenades were discovered after the battle.
Elsewhere, the U.S.-led coalition said in a statement that "several militants" were killed and five detained on Wednesday during an operation in Helmand province.
It targeted a Taliban leader associated with the murder of government officials.
