Two militants were killed while four others were detained during a police operation in northern Afghan province of Kunduz overnight, police said on Saturday.
"The special operation police force of Kunduz carried out a raid on a militants' hideout in Zarkharid area in outskirts of provincial capital Kunduz city, killing two militants named Safiullha and Samiullah overnight," a provincial police spokesman, Sayyed Sarwar Husaini, told Xinhua.
The militant hideout was destroyed and four militants were captured following the raid, he noted, adding no member of the security force was hurt.
The Taliban-led violence continues in Afghanistan. Security forces have press on to clear the militants in restive provinces.
The Taliban has yet to make comments.
Afghan security forces took the full operational lead from foreign troops in mid-last year. The war-torn country is due to take over the responsibility for its own security from NATO-led foreign troops by year end.
