Sixteen insurgents were killed and 15 were injured during a series of coordinated operations over the past 24 hours carried out by the Afghan National Army (ANA), Afghan National Police (ANP) and National Directorate of Security (NDS), the Afghan Ministry of Interior said in a statement on Tuesday.
Thirteen other insurgents were arrested during the operations.
"In past 24 hours, Afghan National Police conducted several anti-terrorism joint operations with Afghan National Army and NDS to clean some of the areas from terrorists and enemies of peace and stability of Afghanistan," the statement said.
The operations were conducted in Nangarhar, Logar, Ghazni, Paktiya, Heart and Nimroz provinces.
The ANP reportedly confiscated light and heavy rounds of ammunition and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) as well.
The statement did not report any casualties amongst the Afghan forces or local civilian populations.
The Taliban insurgent group has yet to make comments.
There are over 350,000 Afghan soldiers serving at the moment. Foreign troops are due to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, after handing over full security responsibility to the Afghan forces.
