BAGHLAN, AFGHANISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- A joint Afghan-international security force operation in northern Afghanistan resulted in the death of eleven Taliban militants, officials said Tuesday.

The operation was carried out in the Ganda Chashma area between Doshi and Dehna Ghori districts in the northern province of Baghlan, police officer Col. Noor Gul told Pajhwok Afghan News, adding that during the operation, another 10 people, members of the Gujjar Tribe, went missing.
