At least 42 Afghan civilians were rescued from the captivity of the Daesh terrorist group in eastern Nangarhar province.
They were abducted from the vicinity of Pacher Agam district four months ago, Afghan news agency Kahaama Press quoted local security officials as saying on Sunday.
The officials further added that the civilians were rescued due to the efforts of the local government and security officials.
Provincial security chief General Syed Aqa Gul Rohani condemned the act by the loyalists of the terror group for taking ordinary civilians hostage.
He said the Afghan forces are fully capable to confront Daesh loyalists and vowed that Nangarhar will be turned into their graveyard.
Nangarhar has been among the relatively calm provinces following the fall of the Taliban regime but the anti-government armed militant groups including the loyalists of Daesh terrorist group have increased their insurgency activities in some of its remote parts during the recent years.
