About seven Afghan policemen were killed overnight when Taliban stormed the security checkpoints in western Badghis province.
Mohammad Naser Nazari, a provincial councilman, said on Saturday that three other security-men were injured during the attack in Qadis district.
Taliban did not comment on the attack.
The Afghan defence ministry said on Saturday that two separate airstrikes were conducted on Friday night by the allied forces in coordination with the Afghan forces which killed at least 43 members of the militant Islamic State (IS) group in eastern Kunar province.
The statement said the airstrikes targeted IS in Chapara district and killed several Pakistani and Uzbek nationals.
Both the Taliban and IS are active in eastern Afghanistan, especially in Kunar and neighbouring Nangarhar provinces, which border Pakistan.
