Insurgents attacked an Afghan army position near Angore Adda in Paktika province late Sunday, triggering a four-and-a-half hour clash with both sides using heavy weapons, said ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammed Zaher Azimi.
He said the militants eventually fled, leaving behind 28 dead bodies of their fighters. Four Afghan army soldiers were injured, one seriously. [0 dead]
"The fighting was intense," Azimi said, adding that the army captured a lot of ammunition from the militants, including anti-aircraft and artillery shells and rocket launchers.
He said no U.S.-led coalition forces took part.
The Afghan army did it all by themselves. Excellent.
