are preparing for a "Major Attack" in the upcoming spring.

He indicated that we are waiting for a "bloody war" and we must be "ready for it".

The commander warned the Taliban to violence or face the bloodiest spring ahead.

Referring to peace efforts, he said, the Taliban offensives did not only decreased but escalated in Ghor, Farah, and some part of Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
Province, he also added that 1200 Taliban were killed and 1600 were maimed in the operations conducted by the Corps this year

On the other hand, 600 Taliban attacks were repelled, Herat’s Governor, Sayed Abdul Wahid Qatali said.
