The US forces based in Afghanistan have carried out a series of airstrikes targeting the hideouts of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group in eastern Kunar province of Afghanistan.

The 201st Silab Corps of the Afghan Military in the East said the latest airstrikes were carried out in Manogi and Narang district.
The source further added that five militants of the terror group were killed after their hideouts were targeting by the unmanned aerial vehicles.
The security situation in eastern Kunar province has started to deteriorate sharply during the recent months amid growing insurgency activities by the Taliban and ISIS militants.
The US forces also carried out similar airstrikes in Titak area of Noor Gul district in eastern Kunar province last week targeting the hideouts of ISIS militants.
The airstrikes left a member of the ISIS group dead who has been identified as Aminullah, Silab Corps added in its statement.
Silab Corps also added that a Ak-47 assault rifle and a radio were also destroyed during the same airstrikes.
