Afghanistan

Coalition forces killed 22 Taliban fighters in airstrikes along the Pakistani border in Khost province and six more during fighting in Zabul province. Russia denied signing an agreement that allows NATO supplies and forces to pass through Central Asia. Afghanistan’s foreign minister said the country would increase military ties with India while he implied Pakistan is “using terrorism as a tool for foreign policy.”
