Afghanistan Interior Ministry said that the ANDSF launched operations during which the attacks were pushed back and the district of Guzara was taken back from the Taliban.

US army airstrikes are too reported to be conducted in support of Afghan government forces in western Herat province bordering Iran.

The Taliban have also launched an attack on the center of Helmand province-Lashkargah- but local officials have assured the people of pushing back the attacks by the Taliban.

On the other hand, Kandahar city also witnessed heave conflicts between the ANDSF and the Taliban as the province’s majority districts are under the control of the Taliban.

Taloqan city, the provincial capital of Takhar province was too a battlefield between the warring sides and the Afghan defense ministry claimed to have inflicted heavy casualties to the Taliban fighters as the former driven the latter from the city.
