A Taliban Spokesman, Dr Mohammad Hanif, has reported of the killing of 19 US occupation soldiers in south and east of Afghanistan.
In a phone interview with IRIB Pashto Radio, Dr Hanif said Sunday evening that Taliban fighters attacked the US occupation forces at the Bachit District of the Afghan town of Kumdish in Nurestan Province, killing 13 US soldiers.
The Taliban Spokesman said the fighters also targeted a US military vehicle around the same time in Sahra Bagh of Afghanistan Khost Province, as a result of which at least six US soldiers were killed.
He further reported that a US military helicopter was hit and crashed just before landing in the airport of Sahra Bagh.
