"Within the past 24 hours, our team has documented 59 deaths, including eight civilians, nine Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) members, and 42 Taliban militants," Reduction in Violence (RiV) said on the social media platform Twitter.
The group said that there were also 30 civilians, 38 Taliban terrorists, and seven security forces members wounded in the cited period.
The casualties were observed in 15 violent incidents that took place in seven of the Asian country's 34 provinces, according to the RiV figures. (/Xinhua)
