Afghanistan: Security forces liberate Jawand district from Talibans
Afghan security forces have managed to liberate a remote district from the grip of Taliban militants as Kabul struggles to counter the surge in the militancy plaguing the country.
In a major military offensive launched on Tuesday, Afghan troops recaptured the Jawand district in the western province of Badghis two days after Taliban militants seized control of the area.
“Afghan security forces launched an operation on Tuesday morning and cleared the Jawand district of western Badghis Province from enemies of peace and stability of Afghanistan,” Xinhua news agency quoted a statement from Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry as saying in reference to the Taliban militants.
