"The operations were conducted in Nangarhar, Kapisa, Paktia, Paktika, Ghazni, Uruzgan, Badghis, Balkh, Faryab and Helmand provinces. The security forces also destroyed three militants' hideouts together with several bunkers during the above raids," the ministry said in a statement.
The Afghan air force also conducted 99 flights to support security forces and carried out seven airstrikes against militants' positions over the period, the statement added.
Afghan security forces have beefed up security operations against militants as the war-weary Afghans have been witnessing a surge in attacks by Taliban and ISIL militants across the country.
