At least six militants were killed in an infighting in northeastern Kapisa province of Afghanistan, the defense authorities said Saturday.

AVA- The incident took place in the vicinity of Alasai district after two groups of militants exchanged fire, apparently due to an internal rift.
The 201st Silab Corps of the Afghan Military in the East confirmed the incident and said at least six militants were killed and another one was wounded during the clash.
The source further added that the incident has taken place due to an internal rift among the militants but no further details are available.
The anti-government armed militant groups including Taliban insurgents have not commented regarding the report so far.
This is not the first time a report of infighting emerges among the anti-government armed militant groups but numerous such incidents have taken place in various restive provinces.
Infighting often takes place among the Taliban ranks while such clashes also take place occasionally among the Taliban and ISIS militants.
At least six militants affiliated with the ISIS terrorist group were killed during a similar incident in eastern Nangarhar province of Afghanistan last month.
