Adjust font size:

(CNN) -- Afghan National Army Corps soldiers and coalition forces killed an estimated two dozen enemy fighters Monday during a four-hour battle in southern Afghanistan, a coalition military statement released Tuesday said.

The fighting took place near the village of Chenar in Kandahar province, about 22 miles (35 km) north of Kandahar.

"Enemy fighters are no match for the skill and determination of the Afghan National Army and Coalition forces," said Combined Joint Task Force-82 spokesman Maj. Christopher Belcher. "We will continue to pursue and defeat all enemy fighters who threaten the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan."

There were no reports of civilian injuries. Information on military casualties was not immediately available.
