BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan – A total of 32 militants were killed by Afghan national security forces and coalition forces in two separate engagements in the Khas Oruzgan district, Oruzgan province, June 26.
The first engagement occurred when the combined element was on a security patrol and received small arms fire and RPGs from insurgents in a heavily vegetated area.
The ANSF and coalition soldiers returned fire and moved to an area from which they could direct air strikes, killing three militants.
Soon after, the militants again attacked the patrol using small arms and RPGs. ANSF and coalition forces defeated the attack, killing 29 insurgents. During this engagement, insurgents attempted to disguise themselves in womens' clothing in order to escape.
A 10-year-old Afghan child and two Afghan national policemen were wounded and taken to a coalition medical facility for treatment.
No Afghan national army or coalition soldiers were reported injured.
