Kabul, July 11 (IANS) Six policemen with the Afghan Border Police Force were killed as militants stormed their outpost in Afghanistan’s Kunduz province, the local government said Sunday.
“Armed militants stormed an outpost of border police in Satar Perhi area of Imam Sahib district Saturday night. As a result six police personnel were killed,” Mohammad Ayub Haqyar, governor of Imam Sahib district, told Xinhua.
Imam Sahib district is located in the northern part of Kunduz bordering Tajikistan.
A Taliban purported spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack.
