Some 35 Taliban militants have been killed since early Tuesday, said Afghan Defense Ministry on Wednesday morning.

"Up to 35 militants were killed and 11 others injured during military operations and clashes in three provinces over the past 24 hours,"the ministry's spokesman General Zahir Azimi said in his twitter account.

Three Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed in a roadside bombing attack over the same period, Azimi said.

The army specialists also recovered and defused 24 roadside bombs and landmines in the past 24 hours, Azimi added.

The Taliban-led violence continues in Afghanistan. Afghan security forces have pressed on to clear the militants in restive provinces as the NATO and U.S.forces are withdrawing from the country.
