The airstrike was carried out on Monday evening, the statement said, adding that the local residents and Afghan security forces have not suffered any casualties during the raid.

The Afghan forces and US forces are regularly targeting the loyalists of ISIS terrorist group to curb their insurgency activities as they attempt to expand operations in Afghanistan.
The US Forces in Afghanistan are also targeting the loyalists of the terror by conducting airstrikes.
The US forces stepped up airstrikes against the ISIS loyalists earlier this year after they were granted more
authorities by President Barack Obama.
The increased raids against ISIS loyalists followed amid concerns that they are attempting to expand foothold in the country besides attempting to consolidate operations with the terror group in Iraq and Syria.
