KABUL—Taliban security forces killed six ISIS terrorists in an overnight operation in the Afghan capital, Kabul, a spokesman for Taliban said on Saturday.

The ISIS members killed in the raid on their hideout were involved in two major attacks in recent weeks, one on a city mosque and the other on a tutoring institute in which dozens of female students were killed, said the spokesman, Qari Yusuf Ahmadi. “They were the attackers of the Wazir Akbar Khan mosque and also ... of Kaaj Institute,” said Ahmadi, who said one Taliban security force member was killed in the operation.
