ISLAMABAD—Afghanistan’s Taliban killed eight ISIS terrorists and arrested nine others in a series of raids targeting key figures in a spate of attacks in Kabul, a senior Taliban spokesman said Thursday.

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Taliban, said the raids in the capital city and western Nimroz province on Wednesday targeted ISIS terrorists who organized recent attacks on Kabul’s Longan Hotel, Pakistan’s embassy, and the military airport.
