MOSCOW  The Afghan Armed Forces also managed to discover and deactivate several dozens of improvised explosive devices, as well as confiscate weapons and ammunition.

"In the last 24 hours, as a result of ANA joint clearance operations, 197 armed insurgents including one commander (Omar) were killed, 70 wounded and 16 were arrested in different districts of Afghanistan," the statement read.

The operations claimed the lives of 19 servicemen.
