Houses were burned in Lacha Lam, Kandaro, Vadegram, Kleino and several other villages in Manogi. Adil said that Taliban militants were on their way to other areas with Daesh presence.

Afghan citizens voted on Saturday to elect the country's president in an election link that saw around 9.5 million people registered for casting their ballots.
