KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan National Security Forces and ISAF partners conducted an operation near Kariz Deh Baba, east of Musa Qal'eh Friday, in which several suspected insurgents were killed and detained.

As ANSF members of the combined force entered the compound, a number of insurgents fired upon them. The force responded in self defense and killed several insurgents. Several other insurgents were detained.
ANSF conducted a search of the compound and found several assault rifles, approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition, six rocket-propelled grenades, 26 RPG warheads, two grenades, a mortar, all of which were destroyed at the compound.

No women or children were in the compound, and no civilians were harmed during this operation.
