CHARIKAR, Afghanistan, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- The Afghan forces have killed 10 armed fighters during overnight operations in Siagurd district, some 50 km north of Parwan's provincial capital Charikar, said the Interior Ministry on Tuesday.

During the operations, the main base of militants was also destroyed in Khishki valley and all their arms and ammunition were smashed, the ministry said.
