BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (June 16, 2008) – 15 insurgents were killed after they attacked an Afghan National Security Force and Coalition patrol in the Sangin District, Helmand province June 14. While on patrol, the soldiers observed a large group of women and children leaving a village. As the patrol moved closer they observed a group of men near the tree line. These men opened fire on the ANSF and Coalition force using rockets and small-arms fire. ANSF and Coalition forces returned fire and moved to a better location to engage the extremists and to guide Coalition aircraft for precision air strikes. After about two hours of fighting, the enemy positions were destroyed, killing 15 militants. |
