    A US drone strike has killed 14 Daesh militants in a remote area in Afghanistan’s eastern Kunar province, Afghan officials said.

    Abdul Ghani Musamim, spokesman for the provincial governor, said the strike took place in the Chawkay district. He said it targeted a meeting of Daesh commanders planning for a terrorist attack.

    The spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, Dawlat Waziri, confirmed the report. But there was no immediate comment from the US-led forces in Afghanistan.

    Lawmaker Shazada Shaheed rejected the report, claiming the victims of the strike were civilians.

    The government has no control of the remote area where Afghanistan’s Daesh affiliate has managed to establish a presence.
