KABUL, Afghanistan – An Afghan National Security and International Security Assistance Force patrol killed numerous insurgents in Shah Wali Kot, northern Kandahar province, Monday.
The joint patrol force was conducting a dismounted patrol after receiving intelligence reports indicating a large number of insurgents, including many high-ranking leaders, would be present in the area.
As the ANSF and ISAF patrol entered the area, they were met with heavy small-arms and machine-gun fire. As the combined patrol engaged the insurgents, they went through a number of nearby compounds and evacuated and protected 34 women and numerous children, while they were taking fire.
Having sheltered the civilians, the combined force cleared the insurgent-firing positions, killing more than 10 insurgents and detaining several more, including one insurgent who was taken to a coalition hospital to receive medical care.
The patrol recovered 23 AK-47's, nine heavy machine-guns and nine pistols from the area.
