At least 700 ISIL terrorists were killed in eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar in the last three months, local media reported citing Afghan National Army Gen. Mohammad Zaman Waziri.

The Khaama news agency reported Waziri saying that the militants have suffered heavy casualties in the region, which local officials now claim to be cleared of ISIL presence. He added that security checkpoints would be added in the liberated areas.

Afghanistan has been experiencing significant political, social and security-related instability for decades, as terrorist organizations, including the Taliban radical movement, and ISIL continue to stage attacks against civilian and military targets.
