Kabul, Ramadan 20, 1436, July 07, 2015, SPA -- Two drone strikes targeted militants loyal to ISIS in Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing between 25 and 49 insurgents, according to differing estimates by Afghan and foreign officials, according to Reuters. A total of 49 militants were killed in the strikes in the eastern province of Nangarhar, which targeted the village of Mamd Dara in Achin district, where the fighters routinely held gatherings, a spokesman for the governor said. "The first drone strike took place at 12 a.m. on Monday... the second one happened at 02:00 p.m," said Ahmad Zia Abdulzai. However, the foreign official, who asked not to be named in order to be able to speak freely, said the number of dead was believed to be closer to 25. --SPA 14:33 LOCAL TIME 11:33 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
