The sorties targeted the Taliban positions and hideouts in Murghab, Hasantabin, Atma and adjoining villages along the road linking Jawzjan to the neighboring Sari Pul province on Friday afternoon.
An official informed that the airstrikes killed 21 insurgents and injured 10 others.
The Taliban terrorists, who have intensified activities since the start of the US-led forces pullout from Afghanistan early in May and have reportedly overrun about 200 districts, have yet to make comments.
