Afghanistan: 61 Islamists killed within 48 hours, dozens of families forced to abandon their homes

An Afghan offensive against the Taliban and Is in Sagin and Achin, respectively, leaves a balance of 61 dead Islamists. The recent fighting in Achin forced dozens of families to flee their homes and take refuge in the outskirts of Jalalabad.

Clashes between ISIS terrorists and insurgent groups are causing a new exodus to the north. Internal refugees, numbering in the thousands, are crowded in the field of Jalalabad under the impending inclement Afghan winter.
