  A combined Afghan and coalition security force killed two insurgents while searching for a Taliban leader in Khugyani district, Nangarhar province, during an overnight operation. As the force conducted the search, it was threatened and engaged by insurgents. The security force responded by engaging and killing the two attackers.
   
  The original target of this operation was the Taliban-appointed deputy governing official for operations in Azrah district, Logar province. As a senior leader, he directs attacks against Afghan security forces and facilitates suicide bomb attacks in the region.
