From the G&M it sounded like a proper thrashing but I was surprised by the report of only 6 enemy killed. The Toronto Star reported 76 in their story of Taliban requesting return of bodies.
A grim but necessary business. Good for our boys and girls!

Whoops - my mistake - the G&M reported 7 Afgan soldiers killed and 72 Taliban.
