The local residents did not suffer any casualty during the airstrikes, the 201st Silab Corps added.

Kunar is among the relatively volatile province in East of Afghanistan where the anti-government armed militant and terrorist groups including Taliban, ISIS, and Al Qaeda operatives are actively operating in some of its districts and often carry out insurgency activities.
The latest airstrike in Kunar has been carried out amid ongoing counter-terrorism operations against the militant and terrorist groups in the restive provinces of the country.
