Pardoning the surrendered insurgents for their activities in the past, a senior security official said that the former militants will be severely punished if they violate the law or disrupt security in the area, reports Xinhua news agency.
More than 600 alleged militants affiliated with the IS terror group have surrendered to security authorities in Nangarhar province over the past six months, the statement added.
The Taliban-led government in Afghanistan said that it will speak to American officials about the fate of the Mi-17 choppers which were designated for Kabul but were given to Ukraine instead.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the Islamic Emirate will negotiate with US officials over the 16 Mi-17 helicopters and 17 other pieces of military equipment which the US had allocated for Afghanistan but were given to Ukraine, TOLO News reported.
"First of all, the traitors are those who fled with these helicopters from Afghanistan. Second, we are talking about the fate of them with the Americans and with the country's where our helicopters are present. We are trying to bring the Afghanistan property back to Afghanistan," Mujahid was quoted as saying.
According to the US government's Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), the Department of Defense (DOD) on January 19 had notified Congress that it intended to transfer five US-procured former Afghan Mi-17 helicopters that had been undergoing maintenance in Ukraine to the Kiev government.
Ukraine accepted these aircraft on March 11.
"In mid-April, US President Joe Biden announced a military assistance package to Ukraine that included an additional 11 Mi-17 helicopters that had been scheduled for Afghanistan," SIGAR said in a recent report.
"DOD also transferred nearly 16 million rounds of varied non-standard munitions, originally procured for Afghanistan, to Ukraine," it added.
Earlier, the Islamic Emirate had also claimed that more than 40 aircraft had flown to the neighbouring Uzbekistan and Tajikistan after the fall of the former Ashraf Ghani government in August 2021, reports TOLO News.
The Taliban had called on the countries to hand over these aircraft to Afghanistan.
Analysts believe that the lack of recognition of the current Taliban regime by the global community could be one of the obstacles for the US to hand over the aircraft to Afghanistan.
"There is a legal aspect, the Islamic Emirate is yet to be recognized by the US and other countries, therefore, the Americans believe that if they had a deal, it was with the former government. So, until the legitimacy of Islamic Emirate is solved, handing over Afghanistan's property to the Islamic Emirate will face challenges," said Javid Javid, an Afghan political analyst.
The jet fighters carried out 42 airstrikes on Sunday based on intelligence reports during the period from September 11 to 16, against IS headquarters and hideouts, while six of the total airstrikes targeted IS posts in Mayadeen area in eastern Syria, the intelligence media office said in a statement.
In one area, the airstrikes bombarded 29 IS targets in Akashat area, leaving some 120 IS militants killed, including four terrorist leaders, Xinhua news agency cited the statement as saying.
The jet fighters also hit six targets in Mayadeen area, leaving dozens of IS militants killed and destroying three booby-trapped vehicles, the statement said.
Earlier, the Iraqi security forces dislodged IS militants from the key cities of Anbar province, including Ramadi and the nearby Fallujah, but the areas near the border with neighbouring Syria, including Aana, Rawa and al-Qaim as well as the vast rural areas across the province are still under the control of the extremist IS militants.
The soldiers of the 15 Infantry Division, backed by helicopter gunships, killed 65 IS terrorists and 15 suicide bombers wearing explosive belts at a village near the town of Ayadhiyah, some 11km north of Tal Afar, Xinhua news agency cited a the Joint Operations Command (JOC) statement as saying.
The troops also destroyed two vehicles and four IS hideouts, it said.
Several terrorists fled the area and surrendered to the nearby defensive line of the Kurdish Pehmerga forces at the edge of the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan, the statement added.
On August 31, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared full liberation of the city of Tal Afar and surrounding areas from the extremist IS terrorists.
The targeted well is part of the Bai Hassan oil field in Kirkuk, around 250 km north of the capital Baghdad, they added.
No casualties or damage was reported, reports dpa news agency.
The attack comes a day after IS claimed responsibility for an explosion at a market in Baghdad on Thursday.
The blast in the mostly Shia district of Sadr City left at least one civilian dead and 12 others injured, according to security sources.
The Sunni extremist group regards Muslim Shias as heretics.
In January, the IS claimed responsibility for a twin suicide attack that killed at least 32 people in central Baghdad, the most serious terror attack in the city in about three years.
In December 2017, Iraq declared victory over the IS, having recaptured all the territory seized by the extremists since 2014.
However, members of the terror group have continued to carry out scattered attacks across the war-torn country.
