The Afghan government forces attacked Taliban positions in the northern Faryab province over the past 24 hours, killing a total of 25 militants, a police spokesman said Saturday.

Four Taliban group commanders, including the notorious Mawlawi Yusuf, were also among those killed in the raids in Khawja Sabzposh district, spokesman Sayed Sarwar Hussaini said.

Khawja Sabzposh district has been regarded as Taliban hotbed in the relatively troubled Faryab province, reports Xinhua.

The spokesman also noted that the crackdown against Taliban would continue to ensure lasting peace there.

Taliban militants are yet to make comment on the report.
