2018-04-18
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan forces blocked one of the major supply routes of the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group during an operation along the Durand Line.

The provincial government in Paktia said the route between Kurram Agency
...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora...
and Dand-e-Pathan district in Paktia province was blocked during an operation of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces.

According to a official statement, the Afghan forces managed to fully take control of Tongi Sar, Top Sar, and Koch Haram areas and block the supply route of the Taliban group.

The statement further added that the Taliban group was using the route to provide supplies to its fighters in Paktia and other southeastern province.

According to the provincial government, at least twelve Taliban bandidos holy warriors were killed during the operations and some others were maimed.

The Afghan forces and the local residents did not suffer any casualty during the operations, the statement added.

Paktia governor Shahmim Khan Katawazi said the closure of the supply route of Taliban will have a positive impact on security situation in Paktia and other southeastern provinces.

He also added that the Afghan forces will soon establish more security posts in the area in a bid to prevent the return of the Death Eaters and ensure control of the government.
