The Afghan army said on Saturday two key ISIS leaders, identified as Mawlavi Turab and Musa Khan, were also among those killed and that local residents did not suffer any casualties during the airstrikes.
The anti-government armed militant groups and the ISIS militants have not released any comments so far.
Laghman, which is relatively calm among Afghanistan's provinces, has lately witnessed armed militants’ attemps to expand their insurgency activities.
