The British military says one of its soldiers died in the raid but could not confirm the Taliban fatalities.
The fighting started on January 13 in the Kajaki district of Helmand Province. It was part of an offensive to allow a safe passage for contractors who were repairing a major hydroelectric dam in the area.
