Afghan officials say a senior Islamic State commander has been killed in a drone strike in the southern Helmand province.
The deputy provincial governor says the commander, identified as Abdul Rauf, was killed along with four other militants when a drone-fired missile struck their car
Afghanistan's intelligence service issued a statement saying the suspected Islamic State commander was among six people killed in the strike, which it said was carried out by Afghan forces.
However there has been some confusion about the incident:
Helmand police chief says Mulah Raouf, #ISIS chief in #Afghanistan, killed in drone strikes while NDS says he's killed n military operation.
